    I needed 3 yards of top soil and that's what I got! Right on time and right where I asked it to be placed (Order# 2041).

    For amending existing beds plan on two to three inches worked in, and for new raised beds or lawn prep budget six to twelve inches of depth. Order about fifteen percent extra for settling, since screened soil compacts noticeably after the first heavy McComb rain.

    Measure length and width in feet, then decide how deep you need to go, and remember that filling a low spot takes far more material than people estimate. Convert inches to feet by dividing by twelve, multiply all three numbers, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. A cubic yard covers about 100 square feet at three inches deep.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Click a question to see the answer

    Answer

    What kind of soil do I already have in McComb?

    Most of Pike County sits on silt loam, a soil with fine particles that holds moisture and nutrients well but compacts easily and crusts over when it dries. It is naturally productive, which is why this area has always grown good gardens, but on graded home sites the good topsoil is often gone and you are left working the tight subsoil underneath.

    Answer

    Why does water stand in my yard after it rains?

    Silt loam drains slower than sand and compacts under construction traffic, so on a flat McComb lot a two or three inch rain has nowhere to go. The fix is usually a combination of adding screened topsoil to build up and slope the low area toward an outlet, plus incorporating compost so water can actually move through the profile.

    Answer

    What is the difference between topsoil, garden mix and compost?

    Screened topsoil is mineral soil for filling holes, leveling ruts and building grade before sod. Garden mix blends topsoil with compost and is ready to plant in raised beds. Straight compost is a concentrated amendment you till into existing ground. For most McComb projects you fill with topsoil and finish the top few inches with garden mix or compost.

    Answer

    When should I put down soil for a new lawn here?

    Early spring after the March 15 last frost or early fall in September and early October are the best windows. Warm season grasses like centipede, St. Augustine and Bermuda that dominate McComb lawns need warm soil to root in, so avoid laying soil and sod in the dead of summer when daily watering is a struggle or after the November 12 first frost.

    Answer

    How deep should soil be for a vegetable garden in McComb?

    Aim for at least 10 to 12 inches of good soil for a productive garden. If you are building a raised bed on top of existing silt loam, six to eight inches of garden mix over loosened native ground works well. That depth keeps roots above the saturated zone during our heavy spring rains while still reaching down for moisture in August.

    Answer

    Should I test my soil before adding anything?

    It is worth it. Southwest Mississippi soils tend to run acidic thanks to high rainfall leaching out calcium and magnesium, and the Mississippi State Extension office in Pike County can run an inexpensive test. Knowing your pH tells you whether to add lime for vegetables and lawns or leave it alone for azaleas, blueberries and camellias that prefer the acid side.

    Answer

    Can I just till compost into what I have instead of buying topsoil?

    If you have decent depth already, yes. Working two to three inches of compost into the top six inches of McComb silt loam does wonders for structure and drainage. But if the builder scraped your lot down to hardpan clay subsoil, compost alone will not give you enough root zone, and you are better off importing screened topsoil first.

    Mulch Mound Pro Tip

    Never work McComb silt loam when it is wet. With 62 inches of rain a year the temptation is strong, but tilling or walking saturated silt destroys the crumb structure and leaves you with concrete like clods that take a full season to recover. Squeeze a handful, and if it ribbons and smears instead of crumbling, wait two or three more dry days before you touch it.

    Mulch Mound Pro Tip

    Blend the seam between new and old soil. Dumping fresh topsoil straight onto compacted ground creates a hard interface that roots refuse to cross and water perches on top of. Loosen the existing surface four to six inches with a fork or tiller first, spread a couple inches of your new soil, mix that transition zone, then add the rest. Your plants will root far deeper.

    Mulch Mound Pro Tip

    Keep organic matter coming. McComb's heat and humidity burn through compost fast, so a garden that was rich two years ago can be lean today. Top dress vegetable beds with an inch of compost each spring and again after summer crops finish, and consider a cool season cover crop of crimson clover or cereal rye planted around the November 12 first frost to feed the soil all winter.

    The Unique Landscape of McComb

    Most McComb yards sit on silt loam that started out fertile but has been stripped, graded or compacted during construction, leaving beds and lawns with thin, tight topsoil over dense subsoil. With 62 inches of rain a year, nutrients leach downward quickly and organic matter burns off fast in our long Zone 8b growing season, so soil here needs regular rebuilding rather than a one time fix. Bringing in screened topsoil, garden mix or compost restores the depth and structure that vegetables, sod and new shrub beds need to root properly. Good soil also solves the drainage problem that plagues flat McComb lots, where water stands in low spots for days after a storm and drowns roots. Because our frost free window runs from roughly March 15 to November 12, you get eight months of active growing, and soil that is properly built will support two full vegetable seasons instead of one.
