for a salad planter.
I am planning on making a wooden planter to sit on my decking outside the kitchen door. Hopefully it will provide us with a continous supply of lovely salad leaves and other bits.
Therefore I was wondering what depth does it need to be for the lettuces etc to live happily?
At present its just under 1 deckboard deep (la shade under 5 inch, lost abit due to the base) at the moment. Is this adequate or does it need an extra row of boards on top?
Also, what is the best muck to fill it with top soil, compost or a bit of both?
I cant use the garden soil as all its good for is making pots.
