Introduction To This Website:
Welcome to my website on calculating topsoil needs! I’m Jennifer Jenny, a passionate gardener with over 8 years of experience growing beautiful and bountiful gardens.
Creating gorgeous, thriving garden landscapes has been my lifelong passion. However, I know first-hand how frustrating and confusing it can be to figure out exactly how much topsoil you actually need for a project. Too much money is wasted. Too little and your plants suffer.
That’s why I created this site and the topsoil calculators that you will use- to provide fellow home gardeners with guidance on accurately estimating topsoil requirements. My goal is to share the knowledge I’ve gained over decades of gardening trial and error about using topsoil calculators and other tips to smoothly plan your garden beds and landscaping.
About Me:
When I’m not working in my own garden, you can find me reading gardening books and blogs to further expand my knowledge. I also enjoy hiking, cooking, photography, and traveling to botanical gardens for inspiration.
Gardening has been my creative outlet for over 8 years now. I find caring for plants deeply satisfying and relaxing. I love watching tiny seeds blossom into abundant vegetables or riotous flower beds. The earthy smell of fresh soil is heavenly to me.
In addition to gardening, I also have professional expertise in landscaping, having worked for 5 years in the field early in my career. This gave me valuable hands-on experience in tasks like garden construction, drainage installation, maintenance, design etc.
These complementary passions led me to become an accomplished home gardener specializing in growing vegetables, fruits, herbs, ornamental flowers, bushes, trees and more!
I am mostly active on Quora as compared to other social profiles. Do Subscribe to my Youtube Channel for more tips on gardening and the correct use of topsoil.
