Manufacturing top soil and sustainability

A picture of soil loam with some stones.

Ken Crowther talks to Jason Lock, business development manager with Boughton, a top soil company based in Kettering.

He says that top soil can be manufactured, but Jason asks if it is sustainable in practice.

Jason has been heavily involved in the landscape and construction industry for over 30 years, starting as a trainee garden designer with Notcutts Garden Centre’s Landscape Division, and progressing to landscape director over a 20-year tenure. He then successful ran his own business ‘DeakinLock Garden Design’ for 10 years, before taking on a role at Bowles and Wyer as head of design and build for 3 years, before shifting focus on to new ventures.

Jason has also been on the committee of Professional Landscapers for 10 years, spending 7 years as a chairman and is an active judge for the BALI Awards.
