Default finest topsoil from woodlands?

Today I am going to start to transplant my best growing rock-elm
cuttings. It is amazing how fast the
laurel-willow cuttings are progressing. Seems like just a week or two
ago that I made those willow cuttings
without any hormone acid and they are already eclipsing the rock-elm
cuttings in new growth.

Now for transplanting I am going to put them into plastic pots with
top soil from nearby woodland. I find the
woodland topsoil to be the finest soil. Perhaps because of the
microrhizomes (spelling) or the bacteria associated
in woodlands. Now what little topsoil I take from the woodlands is
quickly replaced because of the winter
winds. The woodlands traps some of the wind erosion of topsoil of
barren farmland to the west and north.
