Spring has finally arrived and Yorkshire homeowners can finally get out in their garden. We’ve had a harsh winter, especially over the past few months which might mean that a lot of gardeners may need to look at upgrading their soil to ensure it is healthy and organic ready for when you plant your flowers, fruit or vegetables.

 

To have a healthy garden you’ll need good quality soil to optimise your plants. So how do you choose the right soil for your garden? At Mone Bros DIY, we know a thing or two about garden soil- being one of the most popular providers of topsoil in Yorkshire. Here’s our tips to choosing the right soil for your Yorkshire garden:

 

-       Organic garden soils are perfect for a wide range of plants and gardens, helping lawns, flowers, vegetables, herbs and fruit thrive. Organic soils are typically enriched with natural ingredients and can sometimes contain hard clay which can improve drainage for plants such as cacti and succulents, and can even lower the pH for acid-loving plants.

-       Organic mulch is made with no chemicals or ingredients and is used to spread over the top of soil as an additional protection. By applying mulch to your garden topsoil you will reduce the need for watering it by 30% - which can save Yorkshire homeowners a lot of time on maintenance.

-       Organic fertilizers can enhance your soil if it isn’t very healthy, giving it more nutrients which can benefit plants. We strongly recommend you use organic fertilizers when attending to your topsoil as they aren’t harmful to the plant or your soil in the long run.
