Field No.21 High Quality Planting Topsoil

What is it?

A high quality blended planting topsoil that is rich in nutrients and organic matter.

What does it do?

Field No.21 has a low bulk density making it less prone to compaction and is perfect for planting larger trees and shrubs in raised beds and containers. The improved soil structure benefits root penetration and access to soil moisture and nutrients; it allows for better emergence of seedlings due to reduced crusting of the surface; and greater water infiltration, retention and availability due to improved porosity. Field No.21 is carefully blended and graded to less than 8mm ensuring that it is always a clean and consistent product.

Benefits include:

  • Field No.21 is blended from a 50:50 by volume blend of high quality sandy clay loam and BSI PAS100 soil conditioner. The low bulk density makes it ideal for permanent planting schemes in pots and raised beds.
  • Field No.21 contains up to 20% organic matter that will help stimulate soil life and nutrient transfer to growing plants.
  • Field No.21 contains a natural supply of nutrients essential for plant growth.

Directions for use Use Field No.21 for planting shrubs and herbaceous perennials/annuals in pots and in raised beds.

  1. Prepare your raised bed or planting container ensuring that there is adequate drainage.
  2. Calculate how much Field No.21 High Quality Planting Topsoil you need. A cubic metre is enough to cover 10m2 at a depth of 100mm.  If you aren’t sure how much you need give us a call and we will do the calculations for you.
  3. Apply the Field No.21 to the required depth allowing an additional 15-20% for settlement.
  4. Once planted it is a good idea to apply a mulch such as the Field No.8 contract ornamental to a depth of 75-100mm. This will help hold moisture in the soil, suppress the growth of weeds and provide an aesthetically pleasing finish to the planted area.

We are really pleased with the quality of the mulch and bark we bought. The service was fast and efficient. We recommend the company without hesitation.
Excellent supply arrived exactly on prearranged date and time and driver very helpful in placing the 2 jumbo bulk bags where I wanted them. Top soil No 21 and Vegetable planting Top soil No15 look to be really good and was just the the right quantity to fill 2 new raised beds and top up flower beds. Looking forward to seeing results later in the year. Ian
Really good quality soil, ordered from them twice and had no issues. Good when you have questions and answering emails. Excellent, quick delivery with the delivery driver following instructions (as I wasn't home and needed the large container dropping off in a certain location). Would highly recommend and buy again from this company.
