Peat, provided that you are not averse to using it.



Thanks. Not enough leaves or space unfortunately

How about coconut fibre? Seems to work well as a soil conditioner,
though dries out a little quicker than peat.

Birds take coconut fibre for their nests. I can't imagine how
uncomfortable it is.

More comfortable than the twigs jackdaws have piled in our gutters.
Jackdaws
seem to be sourcing material from washing lines and rubbish skips this
year. A
pair of panties fell out of one of the jackdaws' nests.


I'm sure your wife believed you! :-)
