Question

Is it possible to order loam from you and if not where could I find it? My soil is very sandy and I remember my mother always used to purchase bags of very rich loam and almost anything would grow after mixing it in with fertilizer.

Answer

We sell a wonderful product called Loam Builder. A 2 cubic foot bag sells for $5.99. It is especially nutritious and is designed to be mixed into your native sandy soil. Not only is it rich, it will improve the soil's ability to hold moisture.
