Topsoil is the outermost part of the soil composed of organic matter and minerals. It is widely used for in-ground applications either to add elevation or provide nutrients to the plants. Choosing high-quality topsoil is necessary for landscaping and you can easily tell by feeling it between your fingers. It should crumble easily and has a loose texture.
Purchasing bulk topsoil helps cover a deep and large area and allows plants to grow best. You can also use it to improve clay soil or add it as a combination with garden soil by creating layers. Another recommendation is to do a soil mix where you can add compost and potting soil, this method is great for raised beds.
In general, topsoil offers many benefits to your gardening, landscaping, and yard needs. Purchasing it in bulk for various uses will always be a good choice!
