    I used to work with a man who had been to Canada twice in the 40's and 50's, he said that they used to cut down Hemlock and leave them to rot in the forest, they weren't worth pulling out. Now it is sold in timberyards, it's a low grade softwood.

    For general veg growing what soil/compost would be best. I have some compost from my composters but not enough. I would like to grow some pots and brocoli and would like some suggestions for anything else. The raised bed is 15x4x2.5 high (feet).
