How to Use

How to use Top Soil...

Top Soil has a range of uses around the garden and is suitable for landscaping, in-filling, creating flower beds, improving existing soil quality or creating a level surface ready for turfing. It can be simply raked out or incorporated with 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 preparing ground prior to turfing, cultivate the top layer of soil to a depth of 100mm and apply Top Soil to build up area where existing topsoil is thin and level off any dips or falls. Rake level to create a fine tilth and apply a starter fertiliser (if required) and firm down with a garden roller. Finally water before laying turf.

For creating raised beds, see our Veggie Gold Compost or Premium Blend Topsoil.

When to use Top Soil...

It is suitable for use all year round.
