Hello, sorry this may be a very beginner question, but I am setting up my first hugelkultur in my back yard. So far I've layered old logs/twigs and old leaves, so now I believe I'm ready to add soil and compost.
I called a local place that composts nearby and they sell a mix of topsoil and compost, but they told me they add sand. They said they think it's 20% sand, which sounded like quite a bit to me.
My question is, should I find another company that has topsoil/compost with less/no sand, or is this acceptable?
Not sure if this matters, but soil below is just regular soil, which is not very sandy where I live. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
