From the water conservation standpoint, mulch prevents evaporative water loss from the soil. It also prevents certain soil-borne diseases by acting as a barrier between the soil and the plant. It insulates the roots of plants from extreme heat and cold, and it reduces weed competition by blocking light and by preventing some weed seeds from germinating.  Mulched barriers around trees and structures also prevent mowers and trimmers from causing mechanical damage. One bag covers approximately 6 sq. ft. when applied 4” deep.

Father and son, Ray and Les, mother and daughter-in-law, Nancy and Page, along with grand daughters, Lucy and Annie, are the Olivers behind Stout Ollie/River Run Farms. The need for an organic fertility source for their grass and fruit crops prompted us to begin making their own compost. Over the years they've perfected a formula of plant material from the cotton ginning process, fish trimmings from the Santee Cooper lakes and cow manure from their cowherd to produce a superior compost. Making more than could use be used on the farm led to the bagging and selling and the Stout Ollie brand was born.  This compost is excellent for vegetables, herbs, annuals, perennials, or for bulb planting.
