Filling a raised bed

Posted: 10/11/2012 at 21:02

Dove, that's soo helpful! Thank you. I understand now that Purchased compost is soil-based - makes sense. I've just bought no 3 for when my apple tree arrives - it's going in a pot. And I been wondering what to fill my raised bed - I've got a load of garden soil from when a retaining wall was put in earlier this year, and a raised bed to fill. I'm relieved that I can use ( the better top bits of) that plus some manure. Much appreciated

Hi all. Can you give me a quick run down of what I use for what? What's compost for? Is it a soil conditioner? And when would I use it instead of manure? And why do you use compost in pots? Or maybe you shouldn't and that's just what the garden centre says. Confused!

I remember daylight. Just about. Go to work, only just light. Come home in the dark. Roll on March...

Yeah, that's my excuse whenever I buy a plant!

There are DVDs? Oooh noooo! I've only just stopped spending on plants (apart for the plum tree I've got my eye on...) !

Potting my bamboo

I put a fargesia nitida in earlier this year. Now I'd heard about Busy-Lizzie's experience, I'm going to watch it like a hawk. Any sign of unclump-like behaviour and it's coming out

Oh blimey, Busy-Lizzie - imagine it had been the other way round - you'd wanted a small clump forming one and got a big invasive one!

Yep, without holes you'll have built a pond and it'll drown. What sort of bamboo have you got? If you get the non invasive clump forming ones, then no need to worry.
You can get root control bags for fruit trees:

But don't know how effective they'd be for something more keen like a bamboo. Anyone?
