Q: What type of fertilizer should I use in my garden beds?

• <div><p>As a base, you should use a fertilizer with a 5-5-5 NPK ratio (5% nitrogen, 5% phosphorus, and 5% potassium). You may need a different ratio depending on what your soil is lacking, but a soil test can help determine the perfect amount.</p></div>

Q: Does mulch attract termites?

• <div><p>No, mulch itself does not necessarily attract termites even though it&rsquo;s usually made of shredded wood. Some types of mulch like cedar or cypress <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/proactive-tips-avoid-termite-damage-your-home.htm">resist termites</a> because they&rsquo;re toxic or unappetizing to the wood munchers. However, when the mulch is deep enough, say three inches or more, it creates a perfect habitat for insects of all kinds to build nests.</p></div>

Q: How much does topsoil cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/truck-load-fill-dirt.htm">Topsoil costs</a> from <b>$12 to $55 per cubic yard</b>, depending on the type you choose. For example, screened black dirt will cost about $15 per cubic yard. Loam (soil composed of sand, silt, and clay) costs about $17 per cubic yard. Standard screened topsoil costs about $20 per cubic yard. The type of topsoil you need depends on your landscaping plans.</p></div>

Q: What do you put under a rock garden?

• <div><p>The most important thing to put under a rock garden is the appropriate soil. The specific soil needed will depend on the type of plants you&rsquo;re growing as well as the environment you live in. You can also put non-woven or woven fabric under the rocks to add to the garden's structural stability.</p></div>

Q: Is gravel just crushed rock?

• <div><p>No, gravel and crushed rock are different. Crushed rock is made in a quarry and has sharp, jagged edges. It&rsquo;s most commonly used for building and construction.</p><p>Gravel naturally occurs in river beds or lakes and features smooth edges, making it a better choice for landscaping or other decorative areas. Like crushed stone, gravel can also be found in quarries, but it&rsquo;s typically due to rock-on-rock erosion rather than machinery.</p></div>
