Building Healthy Soil

Building healthy soil is the foundation of our recipe for healthy plants. Fourteen years ago Avant introduced composting as part of our recycling plan. We recycle garden waste into a rich soil blend for a variety of uses in the landscape. When mixed with composted horse manure from local farms, the soil we install is rich in microorganisms, and ready to grow robust plants with little additional input.

Our mulches are blends of cocoa bean shells — a bi-product from chocolate processing — shredded hardwood mulch, and horse manure, thereby adding to the cycle of composting and soil conditioning that gardens need.
