You Need to Refresh Your Planter Soil!

Maintaining your soil is probably the most important thing in your garden, and in some cases, may take care of itself for an extent, but in an elevated garden bed or planter box, it's all on you to keep your soil healthy and full of the good stuff. Join me as I top off our Birdies Elevated Planter after our first season, with more of our own DIY soil mix, which has proven successful so far, with some reasoning behind why I'm using this particular mix. With the right ingredients, this is an easy job, and you might even be able to save some money, compared to buying this kind of soil mix ready to go - where it is available. Also knowing the why behind your soil is put together a certain way gives you the tools to figure out how to amend it, if necessary and while I'm no expert there, I'm learning as I go.
