In soil science, bulk soil refers to soil that is not penetrated by the root systems of plants. It is the cultivated top soil above a root limiting layer (hardpan), or it is the soil supporting the cultivated plants in a field. The opposite of bulk soil is planted, or rhizospheric, soil.[1]
Colloquially, it is soil purchased in bulk.
