Raised Beds Soil
This is the soil building recipe I am using for our new raised beds:
Sandy loam soil Oak leaves - mulch mowed 10-10-10 Fertilizer Homemade compost - sifted - 5 wheelbarrows Water I tilled all the dry ingredients together and watered the beds to get the leaf decomposition started. In March, we will turn over the soil so the leaves are buried better. This is how we built the soil in our main garden back in 2010. |
