Replacing or amending existing garden soil

Question

Can I use Sloat Organic Potting Mix in my garden to replace or add to existing soil? I haven't amended my garden soil since the garden was established 5 yrs ago.

Answer

I would advise against using the potting soil as a soil amendment. The sand content is too high and the organic matter content is too low. The best product, in my humble opinion, is Sloat Forest Mulch Plus. This is a blend of organic material (wood and forest mulch) with 15% aged chicken manure. Great to mix into the existing soil and also to use as a top dressing.
