TS1 Plus Planting Loam

An alkaline, non-saline, moderately calcareous, virtually

stone-free sandy loam with a weakly developed structure. The sample contained adequate reserves of organic matter and all major plant nutrients. Of the potential contaminants determined, none was found at levels that exceeded their respective guideline values.

Based on these findings, the topsoil represented by this sample would be considered suitable for a wide variety of high specification applications (e.g., rootballed trees,

ornamental shrubs, raised beds and kitchen gardens), provided plant species selected have a wide pH tolerance or have a known preference for alkaline soils, and the physical

condition of the soil is satisfactory. The sample was fully compliant with the requirements of the British Standard for Topsoil.
