Should I use topsoil or compost?

Topsoil helps to improve the structure and texture of soil, enabling it to retain nutrients, moisture, air and drain excess water effectively. It's made up of slow weathered roots and organic matter that has disintegrated over a long time, making it high in minerals, nutrients and organic matter. It helps to bring poor-quality soil up to scratch by injecting beds and lawns with nutrients to support growth.

Compost is made in a similar way but over a shorter timescale. It quickly adds vital nutrients and organic matter into your garden, providing the ideal environment for plants to get the best start in life.

Choosing which to use depends on the project you're working on. Compost is great for providing a huge hit of nutrition to hungry plant life whereas topsoil can help fill holes, add a base area to soil and prepare areas for planting.

FAQs

We'd recommended that you use your products as soon as you can. If that's not possible, cover the bag with a plastic sheet and leave it no longer than a couple of days. Small bags can be left longer and used at a later date.

Topsoil can be used at any time of year for projects like laying new lawns or creating new garden beds, but it can be particularly useful to use just before the spring season, when your plants need an extra boost to get growing!

Absolutely! Our high quality topsoil contains high levels of nutrients and microorganisms which help your plants and vegetable gardens grow. The texture of our topsoil also increases drainage and provides structural support for plants, helping them to flourish, even in harsh conditions.
