Page British Sugar
15 Questions for suppliers What is the source of the topsoil? Greenfield / Brownfield / Skip / Manufactured? Is there an auditable process? Are quality ingredients being used? How is the topsoil stored? What tonnage is available? Period of availability? Is there enough for your project What is their sampling protocol? Frequency of testing? Date of last analysis? Suite of analysis?
16 A good analysis report should include Compliance to BS3882:20015 Date Topsoil Testing Source of soil UKAS and MCERTS accredited lab Horticultural Properties e.g.. ph, drainage, aeration, fertility, organic matter, microbes Potential Contaminants part of BS3882:2015 e.g..
