It is the second year when I use TAGRO in my flower and vegetable garden. It is natural, everything grows incredibly well and it is really cheap. Last year I payed $24 for a small truck of this material. This year, we are changing the landscaping in our back yard, so we needed a lot of new soil. I ordered 10 cubic yards and paid $95 including delivery. You wil have to mix it with top soil, because it works as a soil conditioning.

TAGRO makes it easy to be green.
In the Northwest we enjoy an amazing environment: snow-capped mountain peaks, clear-flowing rivers, sky-piercing evergreens. And more people than ever are moving to the Northwest to enjoy this beauty.
More residents mean more homes, more industry-and more waste. We've learned to view the waste as a resource. TAGRO helps us take recycling to a new level as we reuse what goes down our drains-all to the benefit of your yard and garden-and your environment.
Here's how:
- TAGRO's nutrients are released slowly. Plants use more of the nutrients and fewer are leached or run off into the environment.
- Soil conditioned with TAGRO retains water better. The more water the soil retains, the less you have to pull out the hose or sprinkler. And that leaves more natural water flow in our rivers.
- Plants and trees grow bigger and better in TAGRO. More vegetation means more shade and less soil erosion near creeks and rivers, making for healthy and clear water-for fish and people to enjoy.
The City of Tacoma recycles 4,000 dry tons of biosolids each year. That benefits our community in these ways:
- Home gardens. Low-cost TAGRO Mix, TAGRO Potting Soil and TAGRO Mulch encourage home gardeners to return nutrients to the soil without polluting our waters with the harsh chemicals used in commercially-produced gardening products.
- Community gardens.TAGRO Mix contributed to local "pea patch gardens" helps community groups grow food crops.
- Food banks.The demonstration garden at our central wastewater treatment plant shows how TAGRO products can nourish award-winning vegetables, but last year alone it also produced more than 1,000 pounds of produce for local food banks.
- Parks.TAGRO Mix spread on barren areas, such as a park on the Thea Foss Waterway and small community parks, beautifies public areas as well as supports oxygen-producing plants.
- Education. Presentations to school classes, civic and community groups, business groups and garden clubs teach how each person contributes to the waste-and renewal-of our community and environment.
- Ballfields, golf courses, public sites, forests and agricultural crops.TAGRO has proven to be a safe and effective option for non-residential sites that need large quantities of soil conditioners.
TAGRO is also proud to support the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department's EnviroStars program. The EnviroStars program certifies local businesses that manage hazardous waste effectively and is now certifying nurseries and landscapers.
