It is rich in nutrients and helps improve impoverished soils, as well as helping to retain moisture. Certified organic compost is suitable and safe for use with natives. http://www.baag.com.au/?page_id=268 Re: My vegie garden 153Apr 08, 2011 5:55 pm Thanks Fu!! Fu Manchu Lisanne will you be refreshing existing beds or creating new ones? Refreshing really, I want to refresh all the soil I got brought in originally from BAAG when I moved in, now I want to turn it into proper garden beds so I just want to improve it. Fu Manchu I'd be dumping 1/2 a cube of compost into a spot like that. That is half a trailer load. Who in Vicco does bulk compost that are cert organic? BAAG? Not sure. You'd be needing 20 bags otherwise! That's what I was starting to think actually, might be cheaper! I can't tow that much but other family members can, now to see if they will....

Like I said I've never done this before so it's a big learning curve!! It will work….its been done for a very long time, just make sure you keep them watered.
