Top Dressings
Top dressing is a gardening technique used to improve soil quality and the overall health of your lawn and garden. By adding a layer of composted material, like the ones listed below, you help to improve your soils structure, replenish nutrients, enhance root growth, reduce watering needs, suppress weeds, along with a litany of other more technical benefits too boring to mention.
