If you've ever grown your own produce before, you'll know how exciting and rewarding it can be. If you're a complete beginner or you’re looking to improve yields in your vegetable garden and don’t quite know where to start, it's crucial to ensure you have the best quality topsoil in place.
Having a nutrient-rich area that gets lots of sun is a great place to begin growing vegetables, but what is the best topsoil for the job, and where can you find it?
You'll need soil that holds many nutrients and retains water sufficiently whilst offering excellent drainage. You'll then have an environment built for plant growth, however, it's worth keeping in mind many of the products you'll find online are advertised as 'vegetable' soil but can often contain materials like manure which can at times contain bacteria that can contaminate vegetables.
Our Raised Bed Mix combines our ultimate Topsoil and peat-free compost. This product will boost plant development, aid moisture retention and make the soil easier to work with. The texture is typically a Sandy Loam, but if your budget allows, we'd recommend opting for our Horticultural Loam because it offers different qualities to aid drainage and deliver the perfect growing medium for vegetable planting projects.
Larger patches may require our Soil Conditioner, which is rich in organic matter. You'll need to dig and rotovate the conditioner into the surrounding soil to breathe new life into the existing soil, enriching it whilst improving drainage.
Since the pandemic, vegetable gardens have become more popular because people are looking for ways to improve their food security. More people are interested in gardening, perhaps because it delivers a sense of control and independence in a volatile and uncertain world. At Ultimate Topsoil, we've seen demand rise drastically. Yet, we're well equipped to deliver small and large volumes of topsoil across the UK, helping seasoned and enthusiastic gardeners achieve excellent yields whilst minimising waste and growing more than enough for their 'five portions of fruit and veg' a day.
