Why Choose Texas Native Grower's Mix?


Across Texas, gardeners, homeowners, and professional landscapers rely on Texas Native products for consistent, reliable performance. Texas Native Grower's Mix offers a number of key benefits that make it a great choice for gardeners at any level:


Boosts Aeration and Drainage


The perlite in Texas Native Grower's Mix creates pockets of air that help roots breathe. A form of naturally occurring volcanic glass, perlite is heated until it expands into lightweight white granules. Adding perlite to soil promotes stronger, deeper root systems while reducing issues like compaction and waterlogging.


Improves Moisture Balance


The peat moss in Texas Native Grower's Mix helps your soil retain moisture without becoming oversaturated. Blended into your existing topsoil, our grower's mix helps ensure that plants receive consistent, even hydration after watering, even during the hot, dry summers we experience here in Texas.


Enhances pH Stability and Soil Health


The careful blend of pine mulch and peat moss in Texas Native Grower's Mix helps your soil maintain a more balanced pH. A crucial and often-overlooked part of soil health, a proper soil pH contributes to long-term health and better nutrient uptake by plants.


Natural Disease Suppression


Harmful bacteria, fungi, mold, and plant diseases are always trying to get a foothold in your garden. By promoting good drainage and air flow, Texas Native Grower's Mix helps reduce the conditions that allow soil-borne diseases to multiply and spread, giving your plants a healthier start.


The Ultimate in Versatility


Texas Native Grower's Mix is a versatile, all-purpose garden soil. Working equally well in organic gardens, raised beds, landscaping projects, and containers, our nutrient-rich blend supports a wide variety of plant species, applications, and gardening styles, making it a dependable solution for everyone.


How To Use Grower's Mix


Whether you're planting new beds, revitalizing existing soil, or preparing containers, Texas Native Grower's Mix is easy to use and fits into any garden or landscape plan.


In the Garden


Use Grower's Mix as the primary fill or blend it into existing garden soil to improve texture, aeration, and nutrient availability. Spread a layer several inches deep when building new beds and till it in to create a strong foundation for vegetables, herbs, and flowers.


In Raised Beds


Texas Native Grower's Mix is the best soil for raised garden beds. It can be added to new or established beds to refresh soil structure and promote healthier root growth. Mix it into the top layer of soil with a rake or hoe before planting veggies, shrubs, annuals, herbs, or perennials for improved moisture retention and deep, stable rooting.


For Potted Plants and Container Gardening


Working with limited space? Our blend’s lightweight structure makes it ideal for container gardening. Fill pots, planters, and grow boxes with Grower's Mix to create a balanced, organic soil mix that supports consistent plant growth throughout the season.

On Lawns


Grower's Mix can be incorporated as needed for spot-filling, lawn repairs, or new turf installation. The improved drainage and fertility help establish healthy grass and support a lush, green lawn that will be the envy of your neighborhood.
