Hi everyone,

Just want to get everybodys opinion on whether you think "Organic
Topsoil" is worth the price for fixing bare spots, and filling in holes
in a yard??



I have all kinds of mulch, garden soil and compost for patching the
lawn so I don't ned to buy anything. But I got to buy the straw for
protecting the seed and seedlings. Isn't most topsoil organic?


In the carbon - carbon bond sense, yes. In contemporary discourse,
however, it means not polluted with man made toxic chemicals. The fact
that Dow Chemical and Monsanto exist, should give grave concern as to
the importation of any soil of unknown origin.
