Hi
I recently have built 3 garden beds, each 6ft by 3ft, 14inch deep and need some advice.
The beds are currently empty and need filling with soil but I'm not sure what's the best (and cheapest!) way to do this.
I've got a whole load of soil left from digging the garden (it was on a slight slope so had to dig to level out for the beds) so I was thinking of using that for ⅔ of the bed and then get fresh compost for the top ⅓.
Could I just throw a load of grass clippings in and purely use the soil I've dug up? I've never gardened before so have no idea what way to go forward from here (the beds were the wife's idea!) so any advice will be appreciated
Thanks in advance
