How to Use
How to use Multipurpose Top Soil...
Multipurpose Top Soil can be simply raked out or incorporated into the existing soil.
For landscaping and restoring areas for planting, use the top soil to improve quality or build up existing soil by raking out between 50 – 200 mm in depth of top soil depending upon existing soil quality. Try to cultivate existing soil before applying new top soil so as to avoid creating a hard pan in the sub layer.
For creating raised beds, fill the bottom 150 – 200 mm of the bed with stoney soil, gravel or broken brick to provide drainage and create a sub layer (our Top Soil standard grade will be ideal for this with some added broken bricks or stones from the garden). Fill a further 150 – 200 mm with top soil or Multipurpose Top Soil ready for planting.
For establishing vegetable patches, simply dig over area of existing soil and rake out Multipurpose Top Soil to a depth of 100 – 200 mm then allow soil to settle for a short period before planting.
When to use Multipurpose Top Soil...
It is suitable for use all year round.
