I was listening to our local Garden Guru Andre Viette this morning ... a favorite thing to do with a cup of coffee on Saturday mornings .... and people were calling in raving about ‘garden socks’. Well, I looked it up and here is a website with a couple of videos about using ‘Garden Soxx’ for a 30-minute garden. Looks interesting!

Thanks for the link. Did you happen to find out exactly what is in the garden sock?

My pet peeve with gardening supplies is that so many of the bags are too heavy for me to manage, and I hate asking Hubby to unload them for me.

Garden Socks (aka Compost socks) - Composts used in filter socks are made from a variety of feedstocks, including municipal yard trimmings, food residuals, separated municipal solid waste, biosolids, and manure.

Silt Socks are a filter fabric sock filled with wood chips or compost.

The socks are filled with 100% wood recycled from new construction debris. This filler is inert, free of seed, low in moisture content and incredibly environmentally friendly.
