mels mix
Can anyone please help me; i've been asking for days, no reply. I have built raised garden beds 16 inches high. Is it ok to fill the bottom 8-10 inches with good dirt, then put 6-8 inches of Mel'sMix on top???

Re: mels mix
You don't even need "good dirt" in the lower part. You can put your choice of "fill" in the bottom, a layer of weed cloth, THEN your Mel's Mix.
I have seen women looking at jewelry ads with a misty eye and one hand resting on the heart, and I only know what they're feeling because that's how I read the seed catalogs in January - Barbara Kingsolver - Animal, Vegetable, Miracle

JC, Welcome to the SFG Forum. The answer to your question is yes you may fill the bottom with what ever and the top 6 inches of Mel's Mix.jcoulter77 wrote:Can anyone please help me; i've been asking for days, no reply.

I do find it curious that you say you have asked this question for days, yet this is your first post. Where were you asking this question previously?

There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance. ~ Henry David Thoreau
