About this Product
Shipping soil requires secure, dry environments and protective packaging to maintain quality. Palletize bulk quantities to minimize floor contact, use heavy-duty plastic sheeting, and ensure proper stacking to prevent compaction. Forklift access and aisle widths are critical for efficient handling. This approach ensures safe transit and preserves soil integrity for agricultural, construction, and landscaping applications.
