Description

Specifies requirements for landscape and garden soils. This Standard specifies physical and chemical requirements such as bulk density organic matter, wettability, pH, dispersibility, toxicity, nitrogen drawdown index and permeability for low density, organic and natural soils or soil blends. Documentation requirements include information to be supplied to the consumer and health warnings. Guidance is given on the selection and use of soils.

Scope

This Standard sets out requirements for general purpose soils, top dressing, topsoil and landscaping mixes, for domestic and commercial use, supplied in either bulk or bagged lots.

NOTES:

1 The requirements of this Standard specify soils suitable for the vast majority of plants but do not cover soils for plants with special requirements, cricket pitch soils, other specialist sporting turf soils, on-site soils or fertilizers.

2 Requirements for potting mixes are specified in AS 3743.

3 It is often assumed that the darker the soil the better the quality. As this is not always the case, this specification does not specify colour requirements for soils.

4 Guidelines for taking soil samples are given in Appendix A.

5 Information on selection and use of soils is given in Appendix L.
