oops, about 9 meters by 1 meter bed, needs raising by about 3-4 inchs. I
would like to improve the quality as my clematis and honey suckle didn't
flower this year and think that that could be because the soil is poor.

Hi

I re-doing a border in my garden and need some more soil. Where do I
get
really good quality top soil from and is that the best thing to use or
would
manure or multi purpose compost be best ? The last lot of top soil I
got was
rubbish and full of non-soil items.....but that was when the foot and
mouth
scare was on and it was the only place I could get it from.

Any tips would be appreciated.

You do not give a rough estimate of the area which you are trying to
improve, neither do you say, with certainty, that you need to raise the
level of the soil or whether you need to improve the texture of the soil
which you already have.
