How to order topsoil – Topsoil is the gardener’s most precious resource. If yours needs improving, topping up or replacing, here’s how to order new supplies.
1: How to order – choose your topsoil
For general gardening, filling raised beds, growing fruit and veg or turfing, I can personally recommend Topsoil from from Turfonline. It’s bursting with nutrients, pretty much stone free and lovely to work with.
For growing wildflowers, go for a low nutrient topsoil. They don’t seem to thrive in rich soils.
For topdressing a lawn or improving soil in planters, the Evergreen lawn soil is spot on.
2: How to order – calculations
Measure the length and width of the area you want to add soil to. Then decide how deep you want the soil to be
For a raised bed – measure the depth from the bottom to the top
Mulching beds and borders – 10cm deep gives effective coverage
If you’re laying turf, you need at least 15cm depth of soil
For topdressing a lawn 5-6 cm should do it.
Once you have your measurements, convert them all into metres and multiply them together.
