Robin,

That's just planter mix from a nearby bulk provider. I find I like their mix. There's some manure in it, yes, but there's also lots of bark and redwood chips worked into the mix as well.

Of course, this was virgin soil when I took those photos. It looks a little more used now!

It also helps to have four cats who LOVE rummaging through planter beds.

The four cats are rummaging through the beds because the field mice just love the area for the loose soil. The mice don't bother the tomatoes. The cats bother the mice.
