Topsoil

Description

Topsoil, as the name implies, is the very top layer of soil from this region. It is dense with minerals and organic matter. Topsoil contains beneficial soil microbes that aid nutrient availability and uptake. But the soil is coarse and heavy, owing to its composted matter, clay, and rock particles. This means that due to its properties like low drainage and low aeration, it typically requires an amendment before planting. It is a good choice for filling up raised beds, filling in holes in your yard or repairing eroded spots.
