Ways You Can Use Topsoil in Your Garden
02 July 2022
Topsoil is the uppermost layer of soil; it is full of nutrients and organic matter - all of which will help your plants, vegetables and shrubs grow into healthy, happy plants. You can use topsoil in a number of ways including raised beds, borders and as a base for lawns. Below, the FORT Builders’ Merchant team looks at a few ways you can use topsoil for your garden project. Read on to learn more, and if you would like to purchase quality topsoil that meets British Standards - come to FORT Builders’ Merchant today. With a good stock of topsoil available and affordable prices, our range caters to all - gardeners, landscapers, homeowners and businesses.
Raised Beds
Raised beds give you a great opportunity to grow a diverse range of plants. In particular, raised beds are popular for growing fruit and vegetables - pretty much any vegetable can be grown in them. If you want to create an optimal raised bed, then you should fill your bed with high quality topsoil enriched with fertiliser and organic matter. This will promote growth and health in your plant bed. Quite simply, topsoil is a fantastic choice for any raised bed.
For Lawns
Another way that you can use topsoil in your garden is on your lawn. Topsoil is great for repairing damaged lawns; you can use it to fill low areas of your lawn. All you have to do is spread a small layer of topsoil over your struggling lawn. The objective of this is to enable your grass to grow healthily through the new soil. It is recommended that you follow this up by watering your grass on a daily basis. Over time, you should see your lawn gradually become healthier and happier. Alongside this, our topsoil is also great to use when you want to lay new turf on top.
Drainage
In addition to this, you can use topsoil to improve the quality of soil drainage in your garden. Should you have an area of land that retains water, then you can use topsoil in combination with compost to create reliable drainage in the root zone area of plants. It is as simple as pouring topsoil over your existing soil and mixing it in with special care. If you need any assistance or advice on using your topsoil, then please get in touch with FORT Builders’ Merchant today - our team is always here to provide expert guidance and support.
