You may see some called “garden soil” and others called “topsoil.” Garden soil might seem self-explanatory, but what is topsoil and how is it different from other soil varieties? Because it is not tested, it’s generally not suited for houseplants. Insects like fungus gnats, for example, will lay their eggs in the soil. If the soil dries out, these eggs will remain dormant until they are rehydrated.

For levelling lawns: Use Levington Organic Blend Top Soil to produce a clean, level surface before sowing grass seed or laying turf or for filling in hollows in established lawns. The first thing you’ll want to do is determine what type of plants you want to grow and do a soil test first to know what your garden needs.

Erosion can be really bad for your plants, especially if it strips them away of crucial nutrients and minerals. Generally, root structures grow and spread really well in topsoil, which in turn protects the topsoil itself. What Are the Different Types of Topsoil? Topsoil can be classified into a few structure types. Here’s everything that you need to know about them: Sand soil Gardening is one of the most therapeutic activities that can be done all over the world. Be it creating kitchen gardens or maintaining beautiful lawns, gardening brings you close to nature and the intimate connection that you can feel when you’re around nature is priceless. It is also important to know, however, that topsoil can deplete or erode, so you must continually replenish and recondition the soil. You can opt to buy a topsoil supplement from garden suppliers, but, for Miller, amending the soil with compost or tilling the soil and adding a layer of blended topsoil is a more preferable method of improving it.

Compost is made from a combination of organic and inorganic materials. Compost is nutrient-rich and is made from decomposed organic matter such as leaves, grass clippings, food waste, and other plant materials. The resulting compost is a dark, crumbly substance that is rich in nutrients and beneficial microorganisms, making it an excellent soil improver. For making composts: Due to its high organic matter content, this top quality soil is ideal for mixing with base dressings to make a loam-based compost. To enrich it add Miracle-Gro® Slow Release Plant Food granules at the rate of 25g per 10 litres of soil. For alpines and other plants that need increased drainage, add 1 part coarse grit or washed sharp sand to 3 parts of Levington Organic Blend Top Soil. For root vegetables such as potatoes, parsnips and carrots - 12 inches to 16 inches (300 mm to 400 mm).Plants also spread their roots into the topsoil layer, particularly because it contains a lot of minerals and nutrients. Apart from that, topsoil can also contain other things such as manure, bacteria, worms, Minco-organisms, and insects that make it very fertile for plants to grow.

It is usually used to level a plot of land or build up areas where volume is more important than quality. How to Use Topsoil A fertile, organically rich topsoil with a balanced nutrient composition is ideal for growing grass. Topsoil should ideally be loamy, which means it is composed of sand, silt, and clay, and it should drain well to prevent waterlogging.

Topsoil contains organic matter from leaves, tree bark, weeds and grasses that are natural and can help promote healthy plant life. It is an all-rounder which has many uses. Garden soil, however, is much more nutrient-rich, and so it is better suited to those who wish to do some serious growing.
