Good Mornin:
The product is packaged by Back to nature. Its composted cotton burrs. Gypsum was the solution most of my instructors gave as how to get clay soils more workable. Fortunately they also gave other options like compost.

I sold at least a truck load of the stuff in the spring I worked for them. I love the feel and smell of a nice soil mix, to me its like cookies in the oven. I guess I am strange.
anyone got any idea's on what to use as a ground cover between pavers? It seems my dear wife has decided that in order to keep from having to add gravel between the pavers she wants us to put some soil down and plant around the pavers. She hates liriope or any other kind of grass. of course it has to be low maintence. I am thinking a creeping thyme. I think it would be nice when it blooms.
I don't know why I am drawing blanks. moss wont work because our summers are to harsh for it. I did manage to grow some moss in a few cells of a propagation tray, but naturally it gets water daily. Thanks in advance for the idea's.
