Question

I’ve just acquired a lovely big raised bed to grow veg in. It’s like a deep v shape on legs. What do I put in? Compost or top soil or a mixture of both ?  

Answer 1

I’m guessing you have a veg trug. I would use a mixture.  

Answer 2

Compost with added John Innes to hold the water and nutrients.

@deflate10 off the top of my head number 2. Read the bag to check.

Will check it out. Also does anybody know where to buy all this well rotted manure we all need.?

@deflate10 you can get it in bags like the compost, at the garden centre. I get buy 2 get one free for £12. It's all money I know, but not many people have access to farms, and then you still have to shovel it and let it rot down! My neighbours  

Answer 3

Sounds like a veg trug! they hold a lot of soil
