Natural Soil vs Manufactured - Which Is Best?

This guest blog on the My Garden Design website was written for us by Simon Hedley of Boughton Loam.

Soil is at the heart of most landscaping schemes and certainly every planting plan we work on.  And caring for the soil is an integral part of sustainable gardening.

In this article, Simon looks at the differences between natural and manufactured soils and growing media and arms you with the information you need in order to decide which to buy.

This week’s blog comes from renowned soil expert Simon Hedley from Boughton Loam. Simon discusses the differences between natural soil and manufactured growing media and asks which would work best for your garden design or landscaping project.
