If you’ve been a gardener or farmer for a while, you have probably heard the term “A Great Garden Starts with Great Topsoil!”. High-quality topsoil allows the sustained growth of plants, vegetables, fruits, and even lawns. However, buying topsoil can be an absolute pain. Sometimes, topsoil that comes in bags is full of chemicals and fertilizers that could potentially harm you and your family if you’re growing eatable plant life such as fruits and vegetables. However, if you find organic topsoil, the prices can be a little outlandish. So we come to a fork in the road; do we buy chemical-packed dirt and save a few bucks? Or do we pay the extra price for the added peace of mind that we are not polluting ourselves and our loved ones?
There’s a different solution altogether! By screening your own topsoil, you know that your soil comes from your own backyard or land. A gardener or farmer can remove debris that interferes with vital nutrients and root growth when using a topsoil screener. In addition, the quality of your soil will increase by combining screened topsoil with organic matter, natural fertilizers, and mulch. By screening your own topsoil, your plants will thrive in any area or climate! You can also save food scrappings and leftovers and make your very own organic compost that you can blend with your screened topsoil to give it that extra boost of nutrients for your plants.
Many nurseries sell organic fertilizers that you can use to treat while you screen topsoil! High levels of nutrients are obviously vital for your crops to grow successfully. You can also add polymer to your soil which retains water, meaning that you wouldn’t have to spend as much time or resources watering. The polymer may also save your garden or crops in the event of a drought. Also, the old polymer can be screened out of your soil at the beginning of a new season with your topsoil screener! The benefits of owning a Topsoil Screener don’t just stop at your garden! If you renovate your home or add a new patio, you can use your screener to screen out the debris so you don’t throw away potentially good nutrients leftover in the brick or sawdust.
Some topsoil screeners like the EZ-Screen 600 can be hooked up to the hitch of your pickup truck and towed between locations with ease! However, if you need a bigger screener for some bigger jobs, I recommend checking out the EZ-Screen 1200XLS. The EZ-Screen lineup is a selection of really tough and reliable machines. I personally purchased my first EZ-Screen 550 (now the EZ-Screen 600) for my half-acre property, and it paid for itself within the first session of using it.
