    Hi 17.

    I made a raised bed out of some wood.

    It's like 1m in width, half a meter length.

    I made it because I heard If I filled it up with compost i could let my plants grow in it.

    The soil I have has too many stones in it.



    Can anyone tell me what to do now? I've got no compost in it

    If you've put it on bare earth you can just fill it up with good soil (not with stones) or compost, peat based or otherwise. Any ol compost will do you can get it in the supermarkets and garden centres. Then plant some stuff in it and water it.
