Application tips:

• Add a 2-3" layer of Schultz® Garden Soil to your landscape bed or garden
• Using a hand spade or rototiller, work Schultz® Garden Soil into the top 6" of native soil
• Level garden area with rake

Double dig for best results:

• Double digging is a proven method for creating great soil for your landscape bed, whether you are creating an annual & perennial flowerbed, vegetable garden, a shrub border, or foundation planting.  It results in deeper, richer soils, and raised beds that drain more efficiently and warm sooner in northern climates. 
• Define the area you plan to dig.  If ground is dry and hard, soak the soil at least 24 hrs before digging
• Dig a trench one-foot wide and one-foot deep down entire length of bed and place soil in wheelbarrow or on tarp
• In same trench add a 2-3" layer of Schultz® Garden Soil, then dig again, loosening the second layer of native soil working in with Schultz®  Garden Soil
• Move over one shovel's width in the bed, and begin to dig out another trench.  Turn native soil from this trench over into first trench, working in another 1-2" of Schultz® Garden Soil.
• Repeat these steps with each new trench.
• After digging and amending the last trench, refill with the soil from wheelbarrow or tarp, amending with 1-2" of Schultz® Garden Soil
• The finished bed will be a raised mound approx. 6" above the original surface, & will have excellent qualities of drainage, aeration and structure for easy root penetration.
