I guess some folks have access to some really nice topsoil that actually resembles something you'd want to put plants in? My experience with topsoil is, it's a bag of sand and scrapings off a vacant lot before they sell the land.
I don't see what possibly nutrients topsoil would have which cannot be easily replaced with 1 tbsp of a good organic fertilizer with micronutrients such as TomatoTone, GardenTone, etc.
As you said, Miracle-Gro is 18-18-21 which is rather strong, and it does not feed the soil. I would use the TomatoTone which sounds like low numbers at 1-3-6 (or thereabouts) but it's what I prefer.
