That's the rub. You have to buy it. My neighbors and DH/I always buy topsoil because our soil isn't that great. Clay on a lot of rock and filled with phosphorous from farmland run-off. So we've been adding topsoil to our raised beds, amending the soil we inherited and giving it a little help with a lot of organic material and purchased topsoil.
