i'm getting ready to buy some compost to apply to an area of really parched cracked soil and am wondering what kind to use and who to get it from. cost is a factor as this is a pretty large area. i checked out sonoma compost and grab n' grow online and saw that they have a lot to choose from with quite variable prices. i'm planning on planting some kind of drought resistant ground cover in the area (which is pretty shady from being under trees). any suggestions much appreciated.
thanks susan
