Reply To: New Beds and Planting Immediately

[Gwynleg]

Hi, I am in the process of doing the same – building new beds on very weedy ground. I am going to put cardboard down first and then 6 inches of well rotted manure. I will probably finish with a little layer of finer compost which i will buy in bags. My thinking about this is that I want compost which doesn’t have lots of seeds in, for the topmost layer. You can definitely plant straight away, although its a bit early….?!
