Real Topsoil - Great Staff! If you have a vegetable garden, you may have noticed it's getting real hard to find bags of *real* topsoil. Loads of companies (I won't name) are all on the bandwagon; filling bags with mulch, sticks, and Heaven knows what refuse from dumps, as topsoil. I could say a lot more about this and the planetary issues behind it...but.... This is where the staff at Garden World were so helpful. I explained I needed real soil, the disappointments I've run into, and they cut open numerous bags so I could inspect contents of stuff they have! To save you and the staff some trouble, the one we landed on for fair price is Soil Mender Topsoil, in 1 cubic foot bags. (Top rt corner says "Premium Topsoil"). So, unlike the other brands, when we popped them open at home (20 bags) they ALL had real dirt. I would say about 90% dirt, and then some compost. Compare this with most of the other brands (for same price) that are about 10% soil, and 90% sticks -- and sold as topsoil!!!! So, am really pleased with the whole experience -- affordable product -- never saw it anywhere else(we looked) -- and especially verrrrry grateful to the staff that went out of their way to help me find it. (really didn't expect them to cut bags open for me -- great help!) They made the difference.
