Be wary of buying topsoil in bulk from garden centres too. Last autumn I was filling in an old pond and bought what I considered to be a reasonably priced ton of topsoil. Turned out to be heavy clay, which I have had to mix with loads of compost etc to enable new grass to grow well
Thanks Johnny,it seems those bulk bags can contain some surprises,that would be frustrating
We have just filled in our pond with enriched loam from Travis Perkins - we're in Southampton, don't know if they're southern based. Having personally shoveled and raked I found nothing untoward in it.
