When you think about planting a garden, a lot of factors probably come to mind. Obviously, you most likely think about the various flowers and other plants you want to feature. That means ensuring they’ll get enough sun throughout the day. You may even need to consider how you will protect your garden from various predators or other pests who want to make a meal out of your hard work. It helps if a water source is nearby too, so you don’t have to drag a watering can around.
While all of this definitely deserves consideration, don’t forget about your garden’s topsoil. Mississauga landscapers all know how important this single ingredient is. Without it, your garden isn’t going to make it very long.
One thing this soil does really well is keep the elements at bay. When it gets windy in Mississauga, topsoil protects everything below it and even does a good job of blocking much of the abuse that may come from a storm.
At the same time, though, it will allow the rainwater to pass through it, so your plants don’t go thirsty. Although it’s porous enough for this job, topsoil won’t let important gases leave before your garden has benefited from them. For example, when vegetation or insects die, you want their decomposition to be of benefit to your garden. If you have topsoil locking the gas in, rich soil aggregates will result.
