This works, *assuming* that you haven't already sold the old house.  If
there is a buyer in escrow on the old house, you can't remove any plants or
soil from the property, this is part of what you are selling.  If you
haven't sold yet, then be sure to indicate that you will be removing the
soil as part of the disclosure/stipulations part of the sale.  I expect
that if the buyer is enticed by the garden/soil this will reduce the sale
price.

For this reason, bringing in new soil or just improving (adding compost,
etc.) the soil at the new house *may* be the better option.
