Topsoil Help !!!

Does anyone know where to get decent topsoil from without paying the `earth` for it (sorry for the pun). I`ve just finished my raised vegetable bed and need an affordable way of filling it. Thank you x

 

The Local Turf farm is your best bet for screened quality top soil. Usually about �£42 a tonne.

 

�£42 a ton ? The one I`m looking at charges around �£70 (Rolawn)Cheers....freddy.

 

Phone around, I can get it �£30 per ton deliverd. Otherwise try contacting a groundwork contractor although bear in mind that you may also get subsoil or stone.

Its typical that last year I ended up skiping about 10 tons of good topsoil and over the course of the year paying for a similar quantity!

 

This is my local ?

I checked, although it gets cheaper 2+ tonnes. It's gone up a little bit but still nowhere near that much. 1x1 tonne bag �£57.58 including delivery.

 

What area are you BM?, thats one heck of a price.

 

Thanks for the link B/M, looks like I can save a few shillings there, considering I`ll need around 12 tons. Cheers...freddy.

 

freddy, your fairly local to me so ill look up the details of the firm I use, they are based in ross.

 

Sunny Essex :D

6 tonnes from my local delivered is around the �£42ea. mark.
