Can I fill my empty fern-bed-to-be with soil conditioner, or isn't that
enough on its own?
Ferns aren't greedy feeders. If it were me, I would fill the fern bed
with a bark based peat free soilless compost, like New Horizon.
That said, most of our fern beds were created from up-side down lawn
turves - it was what we had available at the time!
