Reply To: Filling raised beds

[Lottie]

Many thanks for your help, Charles. I will know to stand my ground this time round and insist on ordering compost from the suppliers.
Annoyingly I caved in to their pressure back in the spring this year when we were filling the first set of beds. You would have thought I was planning something truly outrageous from their response!
The so-called soil improver isn’t weedy but it is very gritty. I think I will remove some of it from these first beds and replace with a thick layer of compost this Autumn ..and every Autumn!
