I posted this on the flowers and garden forum but apparently no one reads there because it hasn't been answered in the more than 24 hours it has been up, so I'm hoping someone on the cb can help me!! Thanks!!
I'm an idiot when it comes to planting things. So I'm hoping you all can help me out.
First, I have a flower bed that I dug up last year to plant flowers in (it had been grass around my azaleas) but when I dug it up I took out way too much dirt. this year I'm actually going to finish what I planned to do last year, which is to get flowers in it.
Question no. 1: What kind of soil should I add to it to build it up? It is too shallow and hides behind the bricks I put up and the yard, which is not level at all. I've seen Miracle grow, I've seen potting soil,...I don't know which is better. Any advice?
Question no 2: Does it matter where I get my soil from? I mean I've seen sales at Wal-Mart and K-mart and Home depot.
Question no 3: What should I do to the soil to ready it for plants, bulbs, or seeds?
Thank you for any advice you all can give me!!
