Just finish making another raised bed, and could do with some more soil.
I have a very dark brown soil and managed to get some orange/brown(clay
like?) soil from a local skip company for free which I've mixed. Is it
better to mix homebase(any mass produced) compost/topsoil or just leave
the soil I got as it is?
I presume soil is more nutritional that prepackaged compost?

thanks jase.

IIWY I'd Google 'subsoil' before using that free stuff at all. My guess
is that it's worth precisely what you paid for it. I hope I''m wrong.
Google 'topsoil' while you're about it!
