You must be right about that Marge, because around here topsoil is black
muck; we were even warned against it in our MG class. Muck soils are
formed when plant material decomposes when oxygen is absent. When I order
soil I get a blend of sand and top soil and mix it with whatever humus I
have available. But just pure topsoil - what we have here - is not
desireable.
