About Composts and Mulches
One of the most important secrets to successful gardening in New Mexico is mulch, mulch, mulch. Composts make the best mulches because they improve the soil they cover. Bark mulches are used for decorative reasons or to hold compost mulch in place, but may interfere with nutrient cycling if directly in contact with the soil surface.
Sam McCarthy is the manager of Payne’s Organic Soil Yard (POSY). Sam’s depth of experience and knowledge, combined with top quality soils and mulches, makes POSY the best choice for all your yard and garden needs. Bring your pick-up or dump truck (see map below) or we’ll deliver.
 Composts can also be used as soil amendments. Northern New Mexico soils are very high in some minerals but usually very low in nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic matter. Organic matter is necessary not only for soil moisture retention, but also for maintaining adequate populations of beneficial soil microbes, essential in facilitating plant nutrient uptake. Ask about custom blends!
You may incorporate Payne's selection of organic composts into existing garden beds at a ratio of up to 50/50 (depending upon how impoverished your existing soil is). You may then add the organic fertilizers of your choice, or we at POSY can do it for you before you bring your compost home! We can custom-blend organic fertilizers into any of our composts and mulches here at our soil yard for an additional charge.
 Delivery: Bring your pick-up truck or dump truck and we'll load you up — or we’ll deliver your mulch and compost to your home for an additional charge.
