Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Do I need landscape fabric under soil?

Fabric isn't ideal under growing areas. Cardboard smothers grass better and biodegrades. Use fabric under gravel, not gardens.

Answer

Topsoil vs garden mix—which should I use?

Different jobs: topsoil for fill and grade, garden mix for growing. Bloomington's silt loam responds better to amended garden mix.

Answer

How do I fill a raised bed?

Layer it: rough organic debris at bottom if the bed is deep, quality raised bed mix on top. Leave room at the surface for mulch.

Answer

How do I fix sandy soil?

Organic matter is the fix—compost, aged manure, amendments. Sandy ground needs help holding water and nutrients. Add yearly.

Answer

Do I need special soil for vegetables?

Vegetable gardens perform best in amended garden mix. The looser, richer texture suits them better than plain topsoil in Bloomington.

Answer

What's the difference between compost and topsoil?

Topsoil is your structural base material. Compost is decomposed organics for fertility. Bloomington gardens benefit from both.

Answer

How do I prepare the area before adding soil?

Remove weeds, rake debris, fork or till the top 4–6 inches. Bloomington's silt loam drains better when new soil can mix in.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Leaf compost mixed with topsoil improves silt loam soil structure better than peat moss alone. It also adds beneficial soil microbes and provides slow-release nutrients over the growing season.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Check soil drainage after filling low spots or creating new beds. Dig a test hole, fill with water, and time how long it takes to drain. More than an hour means poor drainage needs addressing.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Bloomington yards with native silt loam soil often need drainage amendments mixed into topsoil. Add sand to clay, compost to sand, and organic matter to both for best results with any soil type.

The Unique Landscape of Bloomington

Fresh soil helps Bloomington gardeners shape clean edges, fill low spots, and set new plants confidently. Foot traffic and weather over time can tighten soil and make planting harder, so a fresh layer helps you re-level and plant cleanly. Ideal for leveling small lawn repairs, refreshing beds, and filling after hardscape work. Spread in thin lifts, rake smooth, and water lightly so it settles before planting.
