Hello everyone

Just had my new Robinson 10 x 8 greenhouse erected today. Ive dug out borders either side of the path to about a spit but what to fill them with?

The soil that came out is very poor dry stuff having been under a large shed for @ 10 years so it no good on its own. I'm wondering if I should mix it with bagged compost or manure or just buy some new topsoil.

Any advice gratefully received.

Fork good rotted manure into the second depth spit.
Fill the top with whatever mix suits your fancy and pocket. :D
