If you want to create a new bed, simply digging up the soil may not be enough. Because some plants have special requirements for the soil. But you don't always have to buy expensive special soil.
Which soil is suitable for a new bed?
To create a bed with the right soil, you can enrich garden soil with compost or animal manure, add sand or gravel to improve the soil structure, or use special soil such as potting soil, plant soil, potting soil, compost soil or special soil (e.g. B. Use rhododendron, herb or rose soil).
If you want to plant plants with a high nutrient requirement, you can enrich your garden soil with well-rotted compost or animal manure. The soil, on the other hand, becomes looser by adding sand or fine gravel. Rhododendron needs slightly acidic soil and germ-free substrate is useful for cultivation.
Different types of soil:
- Potting soil: humus-rich mixed substrate, for flower borders
- Planting soil: universally usable, usually higher clay content
- Growing soil: as germ-free as possible, extra loose, often with the addition of volcanic rock
- Compost soil: well-rotted, ripe compost or animal manure
- Special soil, for example rhododendron, herb or rose soil: optimal nutrient composition for special plants
Tip
Using sand, you can easily loosen garden soil that is too solid and increase the nutrient content with compost.
