It depends on the elevation you live in. We usually start to plant in our raised beds during the first week of March; however, some prefer to wait until Easter to plant.

Generally, temperatures below 33°F will kill eggplants, okra, cantaloupe, corn, beans, peppers, potatoes, sweet potatoes, watermelon, squash, and cucumbers.

Build a depth of at least 12 inches of SCM Veggie Blend (depths of more than 12” is acceptable). If your bed is less than 12” deep, loosen the soil underneath, mix with SCM Veggie Blend (ratio of 1 to 1) or Soil Conditioner (ratio 1 to 5).   Since Southern California is a hot and dry climate, cover the garden with any one of our mulches. This will not only keep the soil cool and moist, but will also add nutrition that will benefit your garden. 

Retains moisture in your garden bed, resulting in using less water.  Helps moderate the temperature of your soil, which uses less water and protects your plants.  When used at a depth of 4″, it acts as a great organic weed suppressant.  After decomposing, the mulch will then enrich your existing soil.  To ensure longevity, use at a minimum depth of 3″.

While compost enriches soil by adding nutrients and improving texture, it is generally not recommended to use compost directly as mulch. Compost is best mixed into the soil to enhance fertility, whereas mulch is applied as a protective layer on top of the soil to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Creating your own compost involves combining organic materials like kitchen scraps, garden waste, and leaves in a pile or bin. With proper aeration, moisture, and time, these materials break down into nutrient-rich compost that improves soil health.

Mulch is best applied in spring and fall to protect soil, conserve moisture, and regulate temperature. Applying mulch at the start of the growing season helps plants thrive and reduces the need for frequent watering.

Compost enhances soil by increasing its nutrient content, improving its texture, and fostering beneficial microbial activity. This results in healthier plants and better water retention.

Selecting the right soil depends on your plant type and garden conditions. Factors like drainage, pH, texture, and nutrient content should be considered to provide the optimal environment for growth.

Mulching protects soil from erosion, conserves moisture, suppresses weeds, and regulates soil temperature. These benefits promote stronger root systems and overall plant health.

Organic mulches like bark, straw, or leaves suit most garden plants by slowly breaking down and improving soil. Inorganic mulches such as gravel or rubber may be ideal for decorative purposes or specific landscaping needs.

Excessive compost can lead to nutrient imbalances or overly rich soil, potentially harming certain plants. Over-mulching may cause poor air circulation and root rot. It’s important to apply both compost and mulch in appropriate amounts.

Soil is the natural growing medium consisting of minerals and organic matter. Compost is decomposed organic material used to enrich soil. Mulch is a protective covering placed over soil to conserve moisture and control weeds.

Mulch typically needs replenishing once or twice a year as it decomposes. Compost is usually mixed into soil during planting seasons or as needed to maintain soil fertility.
