Dear All,



Anyone got any top soil, or know where is the best place to get it from?



Many thanks

How much do you need ? do you want Cypriot soil (clay type) or a more rich soil?

Hi Pugwash,



Possibly needing a tonne approx, although cannot visualize how far that will go.



As for type can plant to suit the soil type so is not an issue other than the cost issue.



Cheers

I was wondering as if you are having local plants and trees it is best to have something similar to that which you already have, you can also mix some manure with it. I will look for the number of the man that delivered to me one ton will not be a lot approximately a cubic meter I would say.

We have a couple of tons covering our water pumps which washed out of the garden above us 2 weeks ago if that's any good!

Try Gardens of Babil in Lapta - we got some very good stuff from them a few years ago
