Anywhere in HK sell huge volume of soil?

I'm hoping to expand my rooftop garden

What i'm looking for is general garden soil,  not 100L,but thousands or maybe ten thousand Litre!!!!!
Pls dont tell me to go to supermarket or flower street, the price is ridiculous if you do the maths.
Do anyone knows any soil SUPPLIERS in HK, that can delivery trucks of soil? I don't reali want to taobao all this, wanna support some more local stuff.

吓~ 一萬 litre? 幾萬磅咁重啵！你個天台可唔可以負重先？

i think the weight will be more like ~3000kg, sure my home wont collapse with the weight of 50more people in my house

1. If you do it on top of the roof, I suggest you to try the "plant soil" because it is lighter and absorp less water. The weight due to the soil on the roof will be less.
2. May be you try to use large pots instead.
3. You still need to think about the penetration power of the roots. They can rip away your water-proof layer easily.
4. I will use old-banner to protect the roof before we plant. OK.

Sorry, 我多嘴左添‥‥哈哈‥‥哈哈‥

I guess that the cheapest and legal way is by mixing peat moss (around $150/100 L obtained from Yuen Long) with sand (under $10 per bag)

otherwise, dig it from a hill

Old banner for root-proofing is not bad. I have done this before. It can last for at least 2 years. If you double the layer, it could last for longer.

you can buy 黃花沙 as the base material, and then mix it with fertilizer to use, but if u buy 黃花沙, you need to go to choose which batch u use, because some of them mix with pebbles, stones...
in yuen long, near fairview park, there are some suppliers there, usually, they measure in 一斗斗( a truck) it would be less than a thousand dollar for one truckful..

不好意思, 想問一個唔多關事的問題
黃花沙係建築用物料, 當然佢地都係沙黎既
種野都得
但黃花沙唔係海沙黎既咩??
怕唔怕碱?

黃花沙係建築用物料.........也是花農幫人造花園基本材料,但黃花沙本身一d營養都冇,所以要大量基肥,最好加d peat moss等佢洛左水後可以鬆d(我加米糠,有一日行街,執了一大袋米糠,大陸還是用米糠去pack 貨),再加有機肥(雞屎肥,骨粉,花生夫.....等)

碱海沙吾可以做建築物料,d 海沙要冼過先賣得架

thanks a lot, 黃花沙 is definitely a cheap option on my list. I'm sure many farms in NT have the raw materials (peat, compost...), but the problem is I dont know them...so anyone have good contacts ???

johnny,pm you, u try try this man, usually, i bot bag by bag from him, 15 dollar per bag, about 15 kg( i think), but you better ask for a truckful, ask him to quote u the price first

yup, sort of 15 dollar a bag, i bot it few months ago
