Hi all, it was a massive disaster last year when we have started gardening in the new property last year.
We have ordered a couple of cube premium garden soil to fill in raised garden beds and planted many veges. Initially they showed a slow growth followed by curling of leaves and plant dying. We then spent a fair bit of money on adding fertiliser, Seasol, Dynamic Lifter and planted many times until noticed the ABC news about herbicide contamination in Victorian garden soil supplied during 2020.
We then called our local landscape supplier and explained the situation. They already aware of this issue and provided me the refund. However, they haven’t taken the soil back and I had to spent a fortune to dispose it off.
I wish to start this thread by discussing, if you are in Victoria and bought the soil last year, did you have this issue?
I am still concerned to buy the soil as I am not sure about the quality of current supply. Alternatively, I am thinking of buying premium soil in bags and fill the raised garden beds.
Your thoughts are welcome
nice raised beds in the abc story. i've got crappy home-made corrugated iron beds
