Suitable bagged soil for fern
Hi Inge,
I use 'Levington's Soil Improver and Mulch Peat Free'. It is an organic soil conditioner made from composted bark (from renewable sources). It is great in my woodland garden! I also use it mixed with John Innes No.2 for many other applications. After you've topped up your shade bed - and before planting your ferns - allow the soil to settle or tread it to remove air pockets, otherwise it will settle anyway after you've planted, and the bed will look sunken. If you're becoming a fern fancier, you'd better start a compost heap and a leaf-mould heap. Either will provide you with humus-rich material. Spider Inge Jones wrote in message . .. 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 (-: |
