Hello Everyone,
First two pre-apologies: I'm new to the forum pages, so I hope this is the appropriate one to ask my question.
I did have a brief look but didn't find a thread that seemed to relate to my question, apologies if I missed it
My question is whether or not coconut coir is useful as a filler for a new raised bed? I understand that it is poor in nutrients, but would it work if I added manure, compost and other nutrient rich material? Is there a better filling material available? Peat is not an option for me as it is not sustainable and also not available where I live.
I look forward to reading your advice.
