re: Compost for Topdressing Lawn - BR

I've called before and they said they don't recommend doing topsoil but instead (as you said) river silt and only when they have it available. I don't understand why?

That much is true. Topsoil isn't recommended. It will mostly wash away.
Straight sand or sand with a compost mix is best.
And no, river silt is definitely not compost.

River silt is a great consistency for leveling, but as we know, it is often full of weeds (torpedo) and the occasional beer can.
I don't know why Clegg's is so insistent on the stuff. Money, I guess.
