Molehill Soil

Hi there,

Does anyone know whether the soil from molehills is suitable for container planting please? I need to know for some writing I'm doing.

I've read that it's only okay if used with other soils because it becomes claggy when watered. I'd be ever so grateful if someone had a detailed answer explaining why!

Many thanks,
Jane

 

Thanks so much Nathan - that's a huge help!
Best wishes,
Jane

 

when i bought hostas mail order they came like a bulb with roots or new shoots i dont know which way up to plant them shoots up or shoots down any help with this would be apreiciated

 

Bought one at a similar stage last week

the small white pointed shoot is the top

shoots up

 

I would think that what you have is a central bud surrounded by roots. The bud should point upwards and the roots spread out.
