Which soil to use?
« on: July 31, 2011, 10:41 »
Hi there,  I've just taken up my garden decking which has left the frame underneath exposed.  It's now a perfect frame for planting veg in but it needs filling with soil.

Can anyone recommend a particular type of soil I should buy for veg growing? I'm new to this!!

Hope you can help!

Cheers, Jo :-D

Hi Jo, you will need a good top soil, don't forget to dig over the soil you have first to make a good root run for any veg you plant

Hi Jo and welcome! :D I'll move this question to the GYO board, but feel free to tell us a bit about yourself. :)
