Lesley Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Building suppliers often do a 'Big Bag' of screened topsoil. I think they are a cubic metre bag. - the big ones which builders have sand etc. delivered in. Buy screened stuff if you can as it has been screened for weed seeds. Also -ask if you can see it to check the quality - we had some really rough stuff delivered last year which we hadn't checked - more like subsoil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken on a mission Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 Thanks for the tip Lesley. Will do I think I'll just measure the area and depth I need filling and get the merchants to work it out for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
