I have a really good garden centre up the road from me. I get a scoop of manure mixed with a scoop of soil. I have been getting manure and soil for a long time but this is EXCELLENT. I told them how good it was and they said thanks for the feedback. They keep trying to get the mix "just right". I think they have it already. Every thing that I have used the mix for (strawberry pots, fruit tree boxes etc) are just thriving. I must say I check long and hard for the position of my veggie garden. It gets so hot here tht I wanted a shaded area but with morning sun. I found a good spot and have even chosen another spot just as good to start another veggie patch (I will have to make it and fill it whilst my hubby is at work) He keeps telling me "No more gardens" but I love it. I have been in the garden all day today. I finally got to my pool garden. It now looks terrific (hadn't been touched for 2.5 years whilst the tenants were living here. I will post a pic of my side garden with all the pretty flowers when I have the area all set up for my BCNA fundraising Girls Afternoon Tea net Sunday. I am having 40 plus women here watching displays, fashions parades, participating in multi-draws , drinking and eating heaps of homemade food. I also have some laughs up my sleeve for them too. I think the arvo will go longer than 2 hours!!!! Very busy week - cooking, finishing my garden tidy up and two speaking engagements. Had to turn down another mini field of women display (too exhausted) XLeonie
