Budget Soil

$65.00 per cu m

Budget Soil is a versatile, low-cost soil option primarily used in various landscaping projects where high fertility levels are not the primary concern. This soil blend typically consists of natural soil mixed with organic and inorganic materials, such as compost, sand, and clay, to create a workable medium suitable for a range of outdoor applications. It is ideal for projects requiring soil volume without the high cost associated with more specialized soil mixes. While Budget Soil may contain lower levels of nutrients compared to premium soils, its utility lies in its adaptability. Gardeners and landscapers often enrich this soil by adding compost, manure, or other organic matter to boost its nutrient content and improve soil structure, making it suitable for planting. Budget Soil serves as an excellent foundation for establishing lawns, creating raised beds, and filling garden areas, provided that additional amendments are made to meet the specific nutritional requirements of the plants.
