As part of our landscaping business, we often get calls and have need for top soil.
Now that we have bought some land, and are doing dirt work etc, I have a fair amount of "rough" (by rough I mean with clods, roots etc) top soil available.
I have seen the threads on the "screen" type sifting devices, and seem to remember someone using a tiller to back into the pile and pulverize it.
So, I am looking for any suggestions on reccomended practices for cleaning, grading and refining, "top soil" into a better more high quality product.
Don't mind spending some money, but do not have the resources to say buy a $50K tub grinder or something like that.
Also looking at ideas on how to mix / stir in organic matter and compost to improve the qualities of the soil as well.
TIA
