The sword will appreciate the real topsoil. If you are concerned about nutrients getting into the water you could just a use a shallow "lens" with thick gravel below and above. Stop the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot with your fingertip whenever you might remove it from the tank, so that excess organics/nutrients won't drain through and into the aquarium water.
