making topsoil better


Question
I own an earth moving company and I have used all my good topsoil that I got off my property and I have some more less than great topsoil that I want to make into some good topsoil! I was wondering what minerals should I put in it before I disk it and repile it? or what should I do to make it better

Answer
Hi Chris, the most important thing to add is organic matter.  Leaves, grass clippings, finely ground bark, decomposed manure, anything that can be incorporated into the soil.  Once tilled, have your soil tested to see what needs to be added. The pH may need to be adjusted also.  Jim
