Mineral soil Type C, also known as lightweight soil, is a specific type of mineral soil used in construction projects and landscape planning. The product is characterized by containing minimal organic matter. It is used when you want to reduce the weight of the soil and create a lighter and more airy foundation or fill. Hummeltorp's lightweight soils contain pumice. The product is used as a lower growing soil for designing a growing bed on a subfloor or rain bed (DCL.23/24).

Use
The mineral soil is placed at the bottom to create a plant bed with well-functioning moisture and water transport through the plant bed. The depth of the mineral soil depends on the surroundings. For planting shrubs, approximately 40-50 cm of Planting Soil type C is used on top of the mineral soil.
It is important that the mineral soil under the growing bed is not compacted. Most plants should be planted at the same depth they have been growing at previously. The product is not suitable as a growing soil on its own.
Use one of our Planting Soil type C on top of this mineral soil, from the product category:
AMA-EARTH
Advice & Tips
All soil will settle after being laid out, usually by about 10-20%. Do not pack the soil or the planting bed too tightly. Soil compaction significantly affects the porosity of the soil and impairs the ability of plants to establish themselves.
