Buying topsoil advice

It's been a very long time since I bought top soil for my garden when it was a Builders Dumping ground for all that they leave when building new houses but I would buy locally, ric.
Can I ask how big your garden is? My first load of top soil of 92 tons was from a local supplier and not bad at all but only covered the garden with about an inch of soil and I had to order another 120 tons just to get 2 inches of uncompressed lose soil To, be honest, top soil will be a help but you will need to add lots of manure and compost over the years to improve the fertility of the top soil as it alone is not the complete panacea for an instant garden.
Buying locally will, hopefully, ensure that you will get a reasonable grade of top soil as the local trader has to survive on "word of mouth" rather than those online traders who can turn up drop tons of rubbish and disappear and who will be a lot harder to complain to should the top soil not be good.

You would be surprised just how small a ton bag of soil is and that, in fact, how little ground it covers. So, I would ask around to see if there is a good local Top soil firm and use them. But, as I said, top soil will help but is not an instant fix as it will take even more tons of manure and compost, over the years, to give that fertility you need.
Oh, and just a last note, although I cleared the site of all bricks, concrete, plastic sheeting, timber, broken tools, etc in the wasteland the Builders left when I bought the House, I'm still digging up brick and half bricks to this day!!

 

Which is why you check out the local suppliers and tell them what you want. I have a top soil supplier about 10 miles from me who's been in business for more than 30 years......and you don't last that long if you're supplying builders rubble etc Buy online is a bit of a gamble to say the least as you've got no guarantee what you're going to get.
