"Without your amazing products, I really don't think our [raised bed] garden would be so vibrant and bountiful. We've been sharing our harvest with neighbors, family and friends - too much for us to consume at the moment!" - April Resch

Use Recommendations

  1. Calculate Volume
    • Multiply the length, width and depth of your garden bed to find the number of cubic feet needed to fill your raised garden bed
  2. Bags are 1.5 Cubic Feet
    • Remember that the bags of Raised Bed Mix are 1.5 cubic feet, so once you have your volume in cubic feet, divide by 1.5 to find the number of bags needed
  3. Fill Half Way
    • Fill your bed about half way. Leave enough space at the top for your tallest root ball being planted
  4. Prepare Plants
    • Remove the plant from its container by turning it upside down. It may be necessary to lightly tap along the rim to dislodge it
  5. Add Mix As Needed
    • Set the rootball of the plant on top of the mix. Add enough Purple Cow Raised Bed Mix to fill around each plant as you work your way through the garden bed
  6. Water Thoroughly
    • Water thoroughly until saturated. Wait for mix to dry at least 50% before watering again
