turfing soil??

Hi

My husband works on building sites and today he came home with a load of "top soil" that the turfers were about to skip.

It looks man-made, very fine and VERY dark. Does anyone know what might be in it? Would it be ok to put on the garden?

 

okay. It's raining at the moment, but I'll see what I can get later. My camera is sadly not great at macro photos... even though that is what I bought it for :(

 

oh cool

Thanks. I wasn't sure if I could smell a fertiliser or something but thought that would probably burn turf.

Apparently there is a lot more that they are going to skip but I just don't have anywhere to put it!!

 

My husband told them to bag it up and leave it by the road with a sign, free to a good home. I don't think they realise how expensive it is!!

 

Heather, grab it with both hands. It`s just likely to be sieved topsoil. Can be used anywhere in the garden.
