The importance of soil quality
19/05/2022

With summer fast approaching, there is no better time to give your garden a makeover. Our fantastic range of soil and compost products are here to help you take your garden to the next level.
Topsoil and soil blends are added to flower beds or lawns to reinvigorate native soil with the nutrients and conditions plants need to blossom. There are three grades of topsoil – economy, general-purpose, and premium – with economy perfect for those looking to bulk out their existing flowerbeds, and the highly fertile premium soil for building new beds or for using as compost for container-grown plants.
Our ‘Supersoil’ (BS 3882: 2015) has a local ‘fanbase’ and has been used for many years by professionals and keen gardeners for rose and flower beds, vegetable patches, and general planting for large scale projects. The blend is enriched with Pas 100 green waste compost giving increased nutrient holding and helping to establish new plants, making it the perfect choice for both professional and hobby gardeners.
