Garden Box

The new adventure this year was to start a raised garden bed shared with my wonderful neighbor Lola. A friend gave me some wood garage door panels, my wonderful son came by and built it and now we need to fill it. Potting soil is not cheap and it is estimated that we need 48 bags 2 cub ft. I was thinking about filling the bottom with coastal clean hay then go from there with potting soil, moss, sand and top soil. Any ideas/suggestions will be most helpful.
Enjoyed the project?

Meg Wylie on Apr 28, 2013Peat Moss works well as does Alfalfa Pellets available at your local feed store! I would be sure to use some good Garden soil also and mix together in a wheelbarrow before filling your garden, some landscape supply stores will deliver a nice garden mix by the yard.

Ramona Fay on Jan 17, 2016Yes!, I live in Canada & have 3 raised beds, built 3 yrs ago.It is a lot cheaper to buy soil by the yard @ a Garden centre or Landscaping place. 1 1/2 yards will fill your pick up truck box. Only $45!!
