Add the supplementary organic matter at a rate of three to four parts Topsoil to one part organic matter.

Weeds and Weed Growth

Topsoil Blended Loam is derived from prime arable soils which can contain annual weed seeds. The natural fertility within the soil will encourage good plant and weed growth, particularly during warm, wet weather. The control of weeds is particularly important during the early stage of weed seedling growth – otherwise they will grow and compete with planted material. Any weeds, particularly Fat Hen can easily be removed by hand, by hoeing or chemical spraying. Alternatively the use of a bark mulch will considerably reduce the germination of any weed seeds.

Topsoil Blended Loam is not suitable for lime-hating, ericaceous plantings.
