Patio plans
I live in a flat with a small outside area, and would like to grow kitchen and veg (indoors and outdoors), but wondering what soil to use. Do you need to use something specific for plants that are going to be eaten? Is certain soil to be avoided because of what it contains? You don’t need to use any special compost – a general purpose, peat-free compost is perfect. if in doubt, you can
QAbuy fruit and veg compost that contains extra nutrients to give your plants a boost.
For hardy or mediterranean herbs, like bay or rosemary, then its a good idea to incorporate some grit in with your soil to help improve drainage.
