Viragrow Has Rock!

Because of several requests regarding rock mulch, Viragrow now has rock for its customers. Remember, rock mulch is not organic so covering the soil around plants with rock mulch will slowly (in three to five  years) deplete the organics in the soil.

For a decorative look, instead of rock, use wood mulch such as "Gorilla Hair" or Sequoia Blend found only at Viragrow. These organic mulches are very popular with landscapers and hotel gardeners for that very "finished" and decorative look.

Compost, unlike soil mixes, contains no sand or "filler". It does not add bulk to a soil but improves soil and root health. It is always best mixed with the soil at the time of planting. But it will also slowly improve soils when added to the soil surface near water.

Apply 100% compost to the rock mulch WITHOUT MOVING THE ROCK. Apply it near drip emitters or wherever the soil will be wet. Wash it into the soil with a hose. It will wash through the rock and on to the soil surface. As long as the soil becomes wet it will continue to "feed" plants and improve the soil.
