TAGRO Potting Soil
Because of its excellent drainage and nutrient-rich properties, TAGRO Potting Soil is perfect for raised beds. And, it has a convenient “self-mulching” feature.
Since TAGRO Potting Soil is made of a screened-bark material, its loose structure essentially self-mulches to assure even temperatures and water content in your planted bed. This is especially noticeable during the dry summer months when it provides superior water conservation. And with its excellent water-holding capacity and necessary nutrients, TAGRO Potting Soil eliminates the need for additional fertilizing for several months.
Tested at Washington State University’s Puyallup Cooperative Extension, TAGRO Potting soil outperformed traditional potting mixes.
Cost: $30 per cubic yard, plus a mileage fee if we deliver.
TAGRO Mix
The award-winning TAGRO Mix is a blend of 50 percent biosolids, 25 percent sawdust and 25 percent screened sand. This mix replenishes soil and jump-starts plant growth by:
- Breaking up and aerating heavier soils
- Helping soil retain moisture so less watering is needed
- Providing necessary nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium
Popular as an existing site revitalizer and a booster for new installations, customers also use TAGRO Mix to supplement the regular soil they use in flower beds, around trees and shrubs.
Cost: $10 per cubic yard for commercial customers. Available for pick up or delivery.

TAGRO Liquid
Only in limited production, TAGRO Liquid can help farmers, forestry professionals and others meet their specific growing needs. TAGRO got its start helping farmers get better production and yields from their crops in 1989. And, we understand the demands of the agricultural business.
Maintaining crop production and sustaining the environment are constant challenges to modern agriculture. Crop and livestock production removes nutrients from the land and can degrade the soil’s structure and moisture-holding capacity. This can lead to nutrient deficiencies, erosion and poor water quality.
Made of Class A biosolids, TAGRO Liquid recycled on agricultural lands provides plants with essential nutrients that speed growth and increase crop yield. It’s a safe and environmentally sound way to return both nutrients and organic matter to agricultural soils, providing nutrients to crops and assisting in soil and water conservation.
How it works
Liquid TAGRO contains essential plant macronutrients including nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, as well as plant micronutrients such as zinc and copper. TAGRO slowly releases nutrients as the plants need them, and appropriate applications prevent nutrients from leaching beyond the plant rooting zone into the groundwater. It also helps to moderate highly alkaline or acidic soil conditions and is weed-free.
Liquid TAGRO promotes plant root growth and generally helps plants to grow greener,
more vigorously and often with improved yields. Because it helps you to grow dense crops, you’ll get large amounts of straw and other organic matter to till back into the soil, improving soil moisture retention, and erosion resistance, as well as increasing natural earthworm populations.
TAGRO staff carefully design application rates to meet the needs of individual crops. Liquid TAGRO works well on pastureland, dry land wheat, barley, canola, hops, corn, raspberries and orchards.
TAGRO Liquid is mostly available in the winter months, but its long-lasting enrichments can still benefit soils even if it’s not available at the ideal time.
