Compost for raised beds

Compost for raised beds transforms confined soil into a vibrant, living medium. AHS Ltd supplies a fine-textured blend of well-rotted green waste and farmyard manure, ensuring every cell of the bed receives nourishment. As warmth settles in beneath wooden slats, nutrients flow steadily down, encouraging roots to explore boldly, year-round.

When filling a raised bed, begin with a coarse base of twiggy prunings and straw to aid drainage. Top with rich compost, mixing in garden soil to anchor seedlings. Over the growing season, the organic matter breaks down further, feeding vegetables, herbs and blooms alike. Moisture clings to fibrous particles, guarding against sudden dry spells. This living mixture invites earthworms and beneficial microbes, fostering a garden that thrives from the ground up.

By autumn, beds brim with dark, crumbly humus. A quick top-up before winter prevents compaction and revitalises tired plots. Come spring, that same blend cradles new shoots, establishing strong root networks.

With each harvest, spent foliage and kitchen peelings can return to the cycle. AHS Ltd’s compost supports this closed-loop, turning trimmings into fuel for next year’s growth. In raised beds, where soil depth counts, nutrient-rich material proves truly indispensable, weaving resilience and abundance into every narrow border.
