Suitable bagged soil for fern
The message
from Inge Jones contains these words: In article , says... Hi, I'm going to buy some ferns that say they like "fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil". I am going to put them in a shady bed that needs topping up with several bags of soil because it's little more than a hole at the moment. Given that I'm in a position to choose the soil, which of the various bagged composts available do the people here think best suits the description above? Oh I finally "landscaped" my garden - I should put the pictures on my site now (-: Maybe no one's going to be able to answer this then. Ok I phoned the company I was thinking of buying the ferns from and they said I could use John Innes no2 with some leaf mould mixed in. Does anyone know where I can buy leaf mould? I've searched the internet and found pages and pages of how to make it, but none for sale. Leafmould is like love; can't be bought. These days it's probably illegal to take a walk in the woods with a carrier bag, so I won't recommend that. Not in daylight, anyway. Alternatively, if you know someone with a compost heap, ask them for a bucketful. Janet |
