Hello…I think I need to refresh my raised bed vegetable garden. I’ve read to loosen up the winter compaction, then add compost, vermiculite, and peat moss. First, do you agree, and second…does Hewitt’s carry all these?
Both peat moss and vermiculite (yes we sell them) hold water so, if your soil is prone to drying out, they would be appropriate additives. Otherwise just adding compost (we sell composted manure) and some organic nutrients would be all I’d suggest. For nutrients, I’d suggest Espoma Bio-Tone since it contain the organic nutrients as well as beneficial soil microbes and mycorrhizal fungi to help you plants make the most of the nutrients.
