Christmas Tree 3997 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Walked past a house on our estate with it in their front garden the other day. It was unnaturally green, although I gather you can get more realistic looking versions. Like carpets. The £8 a metre stuff is what green grocers use for display. The £35 a metre stuff looks better than real grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 So 7 or so hours later and I sieved every bit of that massive mound and got loads of quality soil. The rest went over the fence. So I now have most of the soil and the patio back. Happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 Well apparently I need another big bulk bag of soil (about a tonne) to finish this off. I've researched and found out that Rolawn loam top soil seems to be the one to get with prices varying from £70 to £130. Just a wild stab if anyone has bought any cheaper recently? (If only we still had a landscape gardener poster)!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 38671 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 In hundreds of years, archaeologists will be stood around The Boldon Pit, puzzling over it's formation. " It's possibly an impact crater, although it lacks any ejected material...... " " It could be man-made, although it's from an extremely crude and simple community. " Some lowly intern , having trawled through centuries of internet records, finds this page...... " No, it's none of that, it's just some useless tit who needed assistance finishing a shit ".

(If only we still had a landscape gardener poster)!!! Dobbies are doing 80 litres for 12 quid. Apparently a ton is around 750 litres, which would be £112.50. So no, not cheaper than you've found it. There's a farm near mine that's advertising bags of top soil for 2.50 a bag, but it doesn't say how big the bags are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get top soil free off gum tree etc but its this Rolawn loam stuff that's meant to be the dogs bollocks. As its probably going to end up being down a while I might as well use it.

LoveTheBobby 1 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 *wordtothewise* 'Cheap' topsoil comes with an integral assortment of free weeds so depending on the type of area you want it for might be worth paying the extra . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
