Soil, Compost & organics used for Veggie Beds

As previously noted, I used a total of 3 Tonne of Organic Dirt, delivered by my local Flower Power Nursery.

The soil where I live is quite clayey and if able to dig more than 30cm down I would know doubt hit and have hit sandstone. Good old Sydney sandstone.

So once the beds were made, I churned the dirt as best I could, to this I added Gypsum, a good few handfuls of chicken pellets (DynoFert) a couple of bags of mushroom compost, 1/2 a bag of cow manure and covered it with a good quantity (about 1 large garbage bag) of shredded paper (recycled from the office I work in).

I let this sit for a week then turned it, then I added the bought bulk dirt. To this I added yet another 2 bags of mushroom compost and another 1/2 bag of cow manure to the top and the good 'ol chicken pellets, I lightly mixed this into the top.

Give it a good water and the next day good to go for planting.

I have done this with all 3 beds, though with the smaller of the 3 beds I have led the mushroom compost only.
