As the spring planting season begins soon, it is best to support a local soil yard and farmers who sell composted maneure.

What are our Canadian options for store-bought bags of soil when we're in a pinch?

Ashley from Gardening in Canada has a YouTube Shorts video Canadian Garden Companies for Canadian/American/World gardening supply companies.

I use Promix, but she also suggests the Sunshine growing mixes.

I’d love to get the Sunshine mix but I’ve never seen it in any stores! Maybe it’s only a Western Canada thing.

I'm not sure. I've seen it at Canadian Tire when they have their garden centre open.

[–] chonglibloodsport 1 points 2 days ago

I’ll look for it there. Thanks!

See if your municipality has a compost program.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Yes. There's a local compost site in my city where lawn clippings, leaves etc. are brought. Dirt is free to take for residents.

Non-branded bags of soil from any local garden center.
