Today I had planned to pick up 6 yards of "organic mix" from our local dirt
supplier. This mix is 50% soil conditioner and 50% composted horse manure.
The hosta bed I am preparing is in a shaded wooded section of our front yard
and because of tree roots I am not going to till the area. Instead I am going
to simply build a raised bed with the organic mix.
Is this organic mix detrimental to the hostas or is this an o.k. medium to
plant them in. I do plan to add pea gravel to each hole and surrounding area
where I plant each hosta to help combat the voles.
Thanks for your input.
