I've used a number of bags labeled Garden Soil for leveling and with amendments for transplanting native bare root plants. I have no idea how it compares with Earth soil.

This is a commercial name for an indeterminate mix of earth soil (maybe), sand, compost (maybe), shredded forest products, bark and who knows what else. There is no standard. What one company sells by this name may look and be quite different from that sold by another company.

I have been buying such a soil for leveling, starting turf and filling holes to replace the native soil from a local supplier.

Tagro (https://tagro.com/products-pricing/) products created and marketed by the City of Tacoma. TAGRO products are made from a blend of pasteurized wastewater byproducts called biosolids and other weed-free gardening components.
