I was given an old iron bath for the plot late last year and would like to try carrots in it this year.

I've emptied some of last years grow bags into it and will fill it with topsoil.... should I add anything else to the soil?

I think I should stay clear of manure and pelleted chicken poo... but is there anthying they like?

thanks

maybe some sand?

I'd suggest sand also and perhaps either vermiculite or perlite to further loosen the soil structure. A handful of bonemeal is also good.

Aaaah thanks...... I'd forgotten about sand!

I think it's sharp sand for adding to soil isn't it?

And I might have some bonemeal in the shed.

Thanks for the replies

Yep, always sharp sand.
