In the Garden Shop at Pierson’s a question we’re often asked is “How can I tell if my soil has good drainage?”
Proper soil drainage removes excess water, maintaining the critical balance of air and moisture in the root zone. It prevents root suffocation, drives deep root growth, warms the soil faster in spring, and halts the buildup of harmful pathogens that cause root rot.
If you have further questions about your yard or type of soil to use you can call or visit the store and speak to one of our knowledgeable Garden Shop staff who will guide you on your way to a beautiful, healthy garden.
