Last Wednesday (28 Sept) Aldi got the Premium Potting Mix 22L @ $3.99 and I bought a few bags of it. Some stall still have stock of it and this Saturday Aldi got the Lawn Top Dressing 25L @$4.99
The potting mix seems to be a better buy as its cheaper. I am planing to use to to level my yard slightly and replant the grass and create a area to plant flowers, hedges and corner vege patch. Is the Lawn Top any good, or should I just go grab more of the potting mix that is cheaper?
Thanks for the tip. Not sure about Landscape suppliers, but I did check with bunnings and some of the nurseries nearby and they are more expensive. I am not sure how much I need, maybe dont need 1000l, maybe just 500. Delivery charges would probably make it more expensive.
they sell it in the 1/4, or 1/2 or entire meter… Buy what you require. Buy 1/4 or buy 5 meters!

1cbm should cover about 10m2 @ 100mm. 50mm should give you ~20m2
Consider this tactic for your vege and flower patches

Aldi lawn top dressing
don't be fooled by the name nor claims by paleo diet supporters who suggest this is great on salad.
from experience?
Not a fan of paleo as I like my Big Mac and KFC
Side note, I dont have a lawn mover so is it ok to use something like a Ryobi line trimmer to cut the grass is the yard is not really that big.
yes.
You should consider getting garden soil from a landscape supplier, It will be considerably cheaper for the quantity.
Quick google is $58 for a cubic metre (1000L) from ANL landscape supplies in NSW, there will be a delivery charge if you/mate doesn't have a trailer to pick it up. Even so it will be cheaper than buying multiple bags from aldi/bunnings/masters/etc
