[QUOTE="Popcorn, post: 5046006, member: 20151"] Thank you. The raised beds are a mix of compost, clay, top soil and a small amount of sand. Getting river sand right is a little difficult as too little in ineffective and too much will dry your beds out. Over time you will need to top beds up and I use bought humus compost and bagged garden soil. In the grow bags I use humus compost, pine bark compost and top soil. This keeps the soil moist and soft. I have grown many things in the bags but have the most success with potatoes. I just pick the bags up and dump them out in a wheel barrow seperate my potatoes and put it all back in the bag including the vines. They both serve their own purpose but if I could do it over again I would add hardwood mulch to the beds because I still have some compaction. With all of this decay going on you have to remember to lime. [/QUOTE]
