Raised Bed

[derekpara]

I have been topping up my raised bed for several years now with the used compost from growbags. Do I need to add anything this Autumn/Winter to make the soil more fertile for growing veg ?

Cheers.

I think I might bung a bit of "blood, fish and bone" on - the spent compost probably is a bit short of nitrogen.

Totally agree with dave. You can't beat blood,fish and bone in my opinion.

Do you compost your garden bits and kitchen peelings?

They make great compost for topping up beds in the Autumn and forking in.

[derekpara]

Thank you all.

Would it be ok if I did both ? BF&B plus garden compost ?

[Maydup]

Aww yes derek, it would make the most delicious soil!

[derekpara]

Great !

Thanks, Maidup.

Indeed, sweet enough to eat with custard, ice cream or both.
