Hi,
I live in Edgemead and I need to buy soil for raised beds and plants – various herbs, vegetables will go into these beds. Where can I get good quality soil from?

Hi Penny
I’ve just driven along Umhlanga Rocks Drive and there is a big mound of earth and sign that says “Free Soil”. Not sure of its quality and you would need to collect it yourself … but its free
Hi Penny…I know that this is a very time consuming way to do it but here goes.
Old newspaper, cardboard, straw, compost , manure etc go a long way to creating a good growing medium.
You could also throw in a few red triggers for acceleration.
Reliance in Paarl delivers to Cape town. Fantastic compost and soil.
@niall, umhlanga rocks might be a little far…
This should be red wrigglers not triggers.
