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.

Answer

What's the difference between compost and topsoil?

Different roles—topsoil gives bulk and structure, compost provides nutrients and organic matter. Combining them works best.

Where will you drop the soil?

Wherever you specify—driveway, backyard, curbside. Mark the spot at checkout and include any helpful notes.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fall topsoil work in Lancaster gives winter freeze-thaw cycles time to naturally settle and aerate new fill before spring planting begins. The soil structure improves without any effort from you.

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.
