The United Way of Kershaw County has eight community gardens throughout the county. These gardens are volunteer-run, and all the food grown is donated to the local community. Our goal is to provide access to healthy, fresh vegetables to everyone.
We began using Blended Earth Soil for our community gardens in the late summer planting season of 2023, and I must say, it has exceeded all my expectations. The staff at Modern Turf have been wonderful in helping us calculate how much soil we need for each of our 8 community garden locations. The delivery team is amazing at getting the large loads of soil right where we need them. They have even allowed us to sell bagged soil to help fund our program.
The soil’s texture is perfect for a wide range of plants, offering a balanced blend that retains moisture while ensuring excellent drainage. The nutrient-rich composition of Blended Earth Soil has led to larger yields of fresh produce to be donated to our neighbors in need.
Overall, Blended Earth Soil has proven to be a fantastic addition to our garden program, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to give their plants the best foundation for growth. I like it so much that I started using it in my personal garden.
