Let’s set the record straight! When it comes to landscaping, it’s important to understand the reality of using landscape fabric. While it won’t completely eradicate weeds from your outdoor space (we all know those determined weeds can find their way anywhere!), there are a few things to consider.

Bare root plants are typically dug up in the fall and then kept dormant in a cool space until they are ready for January planting. They are stored without being potted and without soil around their roots, hence the term “bare root planting” Bare root plants are a great option because they adjust quickly to new soil conditions.

SB1383 Jurisdiction Procurement
CalRecycle has posted their final regulation text for Short-lived Climate Pollutants (SLCP): Organic Waste Reductions. Oftentimes referred to as SB1383, these regulations require jurisdictions to procure a certain amount of recovered organic waste products each year. We carry several products (mulches and compost) that qualify towards those Procurement Targets.
Our compost and mulch products (Red Mulch, Brown Mulch, Black Mulch, Black Mini Mulch) are sourced from 100% recycled organic matter (with a non-toxic colorant added) and meet the criteria established for compliance with the SB1383 regulations. See the attached Certification Letter.
