Soil³ Mini Cube - 1 cubic foot (with sod) Description
A Soil³ Mini Cube contains 1 cubic foot of compost (27 of these Minis fill 1 BigYellowBag). In other volume terms, it's 7.48 gallons.
When laying sod, we recommend 1 Mini Cube per 2-3 rolls (30 sq. ft.) of sod.
Why Soil³ compost is great for New Lawn Prep
- Improves soil structure, reduces compaction, and improves aeration
- Improves moisture retention in sandy soil, while conversely improving drainage in compacted clay soil
- Adds natural nutrients and beneficial microorganisms to your soil
- Those beneficial microorganisms help prevent lawn diseases
- Compost is near neutral in pH so it raises the pH of acidic soils, a common problem in clay. Likewise, the neutral pH of our compost will lower the pH of basic or alkaline soils
- Rich compost minimizes the need for fertilizers and lime during establishment, and we always recommend fertilizing and liming based on the feedback from a soil test (you may still need to lime if you're planting Tall Fescue, so run that soil test!)
- Plus, it's full of natural nutrients that fertilizers can’t offer. Rest assured because it's OMRI Listed for certified organic gardening.
Mini Cubes of Humus Compost are perfect for:
- Renovating small bald or bare spots in your lawn
- As a "mulch" for grass seeds
- Filling in holes or trenches
- Planting trees and shrubs
- Planting flowers
- Topdressing both new and established perennials, shrubs, or trees
