What is the difference between garden soil and top soil?
Both are quality soils but with different purposes. Top soil is a clean soil made up of 50% black soil (humus) and 50% sandy loam. It’s ideal in content and consistency for lawn applications such as seeding. Garden soil contains black soil and sandy loam as well, but with the added bonus of manure (comprising one-third). This soil is used for planting trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials and vegetables.
