Top soil

[Timclareutd]

Could anyone point me in the right direction to obtain 10 tons of decent top soil please? Not compost.

I don't have any contacts in that department, I'm afraid, and a Google search points towards any Gamm Vert store as a suplier.

I believe the French term is couche arable. Perhaps your local mairie or garden centre (even a Gamm Vert) could point you in the right direction?

There was some mentioned here Free soil in Montmorillon but I got no answer.

Try a google.fr search for "terre végétale en vrac"

Not sure if this is helpful or not but .......

As you come into Montmorillon over the new bridge, the road takes a sweeping bend to the left just before the turning to La Loge Monteil and later to the Raoul Mortier High School. On the right-hand side of the road on the bend is an enormous pile of topsoil, and a load of rubbish/hardcore. I have no idea who owns it but there's a possibility that someone in La Loge Monteil will know.

I've just looked on Google Earth and the photo of that location (dated 2018) shows a pile of topsoil and rubble quite clearly - so it looks as if it's been there for quite a while...
