[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you do a raised garden bed? I've had better luck with that than containers. I do a 50/50 mix of organic soil and compost and have great results. PP who said not to worry about soil if your house was built after 1980- I don't think it's that simple. What was there before your house was built? Is there or was there pressure treated lumber there? Etc. I don't worry a ton about that but it is one more reason I feel better about a raised bed where the plant roots will barely, if at all, reach the ground soil. [/quote] Yes, it's possible that the OP's house is built on a former orchard, and the builders left the topsoil. Or that OP's house is built on a former gas station. Or that OP's house is built on dumpsite for industrial chemicals. It's unlikely, though. And while you're at it, what's in that soil? What's in that compost?[/quote]
