When the local council have pulled out all the 'finished' plants they have put out in flower beds, they throw them on a big unsightly heap in a remote corner of the cemetery.
After a while it ends up being a very sandy type of compost. It doesnt look like there is much loam in it.
Would this be good to throw into garden pots mixed with some additional soil? I guess the dead plants would just rot down and add some nutrition to the mix?
It also has a lot of small bits of chopped tree bark in it. Would this tree bark help with moisture retention, or would it be a waste of time from that point of view? Would I be better picking out the tree bark and throwing it away? Thanks.
