Default Topsoil Advice

...

Hi,

I am currently re-doing my garden, we are lifting up 3inchs of concrete
which has been in the garden for over 20years ... the soil in the
boarders is poor (clay) so we are going to get some top soil so we can
grow fruit and veg and have a nice lawn which (hopefully) wont get water
logged. I have never bought topsoil before and was hoping for some
advice, we don't have a lot of money and after a few google searches its
looking its looking to cost around £90 per ton, is this reasonable? ...
i think we will need about 8/9 tons all together. Does anyone know of
any good places around the Bristol / Bath areas for topsoil?

Any help or advice would be great.


Are you checking with builders' merchants?
I have seen the 'one ton' bags at Jewson.
