Beautiful, bountiful gardens start with healthy, dark, nutrient-rich soil. Here in Northeast Ohio, homeowners working in the landscape sometimes encounter heavy clay, compacted, infertile, and even sandy soil (if living along Lake Erie). These conditions can create challenges for digging, root development, and nutrient absorption. The good news is, a little soil amending goes quite a long way! Here at Petitti’s, you’ll find the strongest selection of soil amendments to address our region’s needs. We also have a full range of container blends, including our own Petitti Planting Mix and Petitti Potting Soil, which we develop and use, ourselves, for growing all our plants! Mulches are also available in many types and colors, which properly completes any planting activity by serving as a layer of protection for the plant material.
