This may be a very stupid question...I have what I think is fairly good soil which I'm very thoroughly weeding & I've bought ready made raised beds, but what do I put in the raised bed (soil-wise)?
I read that for a 1 x 2 metre bed 30 litres of soil improver would be necessary. Would that fill the entire bed? I'm doing it organically so buying from The Organic Gardening Catalogue but each soil improver looks completely different! Should I dig up some of my own soil to mix in with it?
I understand that I should put compost on the very top of whatever fills the raised beds, but otherwise I'm a bit confused!
Can anyone recommend a beginners book for organic gardening please? I have such a multitude of questions I don't want to become annoying on here.
Thanks!
