Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

How do I fix clay soil?

Add organic matter and gypsum. Never add sand to clay—it makes concrete. Compost tilled into the top layer helps over seasons.

Answer

Do I need to test my soil?

Recommended. Columbus's clay loam typically runs neutral to slightly acidic. Testing reveals whether you need lime, sulfur, or other corrections.

Answer

What's the difference between compost and topsoil?

Topsoil is mineral-based dirt for structure. Compost is decomposed organic matter for nutrition. Most gardens need both.

Answer

Can I add soil in summer?

Possible but challenging. Heat dries soil quickly and stresses transplants. Work in cooler hours, hydrate heavily, mulch right away.

Answer

How do I prepare the area before adding soil?

Weed first, then loosen the existing soil several inches down. This helps new soil integrate—important with Columbus's glacial clay.

Answer

Why is my soil compacting?

Walking on beds, rainfall, and low organic content cause compaction. Columbus's clay loam is prone to this. Regular compost additions help.

Answer

What soil for containers?

Potting mix, not garden soil. Garden soil compacts in pots and drains poorly. Container plants need the aeration potting mix provides.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Spread topsoil in 2 to 3 inch lifts when filling areas deeper than a few inches. Thick layers compact under their own weight and create drainage problems for years. Build up gradually for best results.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Keep both a flat shovel and a pointed shovel on hand for soil work. Flat shovels spread and level material better. Pointed shovels dig holes and mix amendments more effectively.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Topsoil color indicates organic content and general quality. Darker soil generally has more organic matter and better fertility. Gray or pale soil usually means poor fertility and drainage issues.

The Unique Landscape of Columbus

In Columbus, Ohio, fresh soil helps planting projects start clean instead of fighting compacted ground. In Columbus, Foot traffic and weather over time can tighten soil and make planting harder. It’s great for raised beds, topping off landscape beds, and filling around new shrubs and flowers. Mix lightly into the top few inches where you can, then level and water to set it. With delivery, you can focus on grading and planting instead of hauling bags.
