Topsoil

By Mwillis
My topsoil for the new raised beds has arrived!

I ordered the bulk bag of  "Norfolk Biodress Raised Bed Mix", nominally 900kg, but since it was very wet, probably weighing twice as much! It looks like good stuff. I don't see any significant stones in it, nor any weeds, so I am hoping it will be just what I was after.

I have also today ordered the wooden sleepers for the raised beds, to be delivered next week. This time I am planning to construct two new beds, each requiring six sleepers. Once those are done I'll make a decision on whether to do the final two. "Rome wasn't built in a day" they say!
Jane said to me today "You're soon going to have to find a use for those great big bags" (the one from the topsoil and the half-empty one from the shingle I bought last year). I said "I already have. I'm going to use them for storing leaves in the Autumn."

Actually they will also be handy for taking rubbish to the tip.
