This looks the the right place to ask my question'
We have built raised beds , fairly low lying ground so we don't want to take any soil from the pathways between, we have to fill them. It is on a community garden and we have rules about what we can bring in. No soil unless Csoil which is in small expensive bags, we have unlimited access to aged manure and are allowed to bring in peat, not Perlite, we can use some potting soil but not if it contains Perlite, plus the expense would be very great as there areabout 16 raised beds.
Using the peat and manure, what do you think, oh and we have access to what is called mulch but when I look close it seems to be bark and chopped leaves,still some green, could be silver birch I think or cottonwood, etc rather than just bark.
Could anyone advise me please.
Oh and it has to come in in bags as there is no access to the plot for a truck and we cannot dump a load in the carpark!!
