0 Gynarchy B Centerville, GA on Apr 30, 2012 Like Clip what's the difference between garden soil and top soil? do i need to use one of them for planting azalea plants? I'm in mid-GA 2 Comments Walter Reeves Decatur, GA Garden soil is bagged organic matter; it's usually mixed 1:1 with existing soil. The bagged topsoil I see at big box stores seems to have a lot of silt in it...not good for azaleas. I'd use the garden soil according to directions. Gynarchy B Centerville, GA Thanks Walter. That was very informative. I will use garden soil then. Can't wait for the coming weekend. NOTE: You can drag and drop your photos to reorder them Required Comment Saving...
