Leafgrow and screened topsoil blend

gtnate · September 9, 2013

I just built a raised bed and am planning on filling it with combination compost, vermiculite, peat moss. I need to have about 2 cubic yards of the compost delivered for the beds, and would like to get 3 additional cubic yards to spread on my lawn before I reseed this fall (the lawn was a bit of a weed fest when I bought the house this Spring).

However, it seems like the mixture of screened topsoil and compost would be better for the lawn than pure compost. Does anyone have a strong opinion (either positive or negative) for going with pure compost for the garden over a screened topsoil/compost blend? Also, the compost is called Leafgrow, has anyone had any experiences with this product?

Here's a link to the supplier's web site.
