Top Dress Mix is a mushroom compost based mixture that also contains soil conditioner.
This soil was designed to be used in raised beds that were originally filled with
our Dixie Mix. When you place a 6" to 8" layer of Dixie mix in a raised
bed and plant flowers or vegetables, naturally the soil will settle a bit from
irrigation and rainfall during the growing season. You would then add enough top
dress mix to this bed to bring the soil level back up to 6" to 8" depth.
We do not recommend tilling this mixture. It is to be used just as the name implies,
you top dress your beds with it. In our opinion, it is not necessary to add any
chemical fertilizers to an existing bed that has been filled with Dixie Mix. After
the initial fill of Dixie Mix and Top Dress Mix, the bed will only need to be
filled with Top Dress Mix after each growing season.
Top Dress Mix can also be used around permanent plants and shrubbery. It will provide a lot of nutrition to your shrubbery and will aide in moisture retention, all with the appearance of a mulch. If you have an existing perennial bed that does not contain Dixie Mix, then we suggest adding a 1-2 inch layer of Top Dress Mix to this bed annually. As mentioned earlier, since this mixture is very rich in organic matter, chemical fertilizers are not recommended when using Top Dress Mix. Top Dress Mix is a weed free mixture, so you don't have to worry about infesting your flower beds with weeds. |
