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.
