Loss of top soil

Today the Yahoo Ticker featured this amazing photograph of the shoreline in American Memorial Park. These trees once stood as tall beautiful pine trees, today due to the loss of topsoil they are just exposed root stumps. Check out this photo and more at http://news.yahoo.com/photos/national-geographic-your-shot-1327014336-slideshow/#crsl=%252Fphotos%252Fnational-geographic-your-shot-slideshow%252Fnational-geographic-your-shot-photo-1334189822.html

  1. This article goes to remind me that I really need to buy some more topsoil for my garden this fall. I am not going to plant too much, but I think that all of the nutrients in my current garden soils have been used by now.

  2. I am going to be starting a garden in my yard and I am searching for some good topsoil in Vancouver. Do you have any suggestions of where I can find some? Thanks.

  4. I have some trees in my backyard that have the roots exposed and I've been trying to figure out a way to save them. Adding topsoil is a great way that I think will work. Thanks for saving my trees!

  5. That's an amazing picture. It looks really cool, but it is such an unfortunate situation that has caused it. It's hard to believe that something as simple as a loss of topsoil could cause that to happen. You really want to take care of all of the plants that you can seeing something like this happen.
