My first veg patch

[tris4]

Hello,

I was wondering if anybody can offer me some advice?

having just completed a succesful season of growing numerous vegetables in pots in what I've effectionately nicknamed my "practice year", I cant wait to create a rasied bed and grown more next year but I'm not too sure how to go about it.

could someone tell me what sort of ratio I should use in the bed. ie. compost, topsoil etc etc?

also, I am planning on relaying my lawn. can I use what I dig up in the raised bed?

Thanks

I just bought 1/2 mushroom compost & 1/2 garden mix from the local concrete supplies. With your own trailer you can get 1 square metre for 50$ which is really cheap and will fill your average 3x3 plot. I then add blood and bone and dolomite.

The garden mix has more organic matter than the sandy loam.

Hi Tris,
What vegetables did you grow in pots? I'm planning to start on low maintenance veggies.
