    A question about newly dug soil

    Hi - I've just created some new raised beds and I'd like to plant some rapini & some kale and I'd like to know if I have to leave my soil to rest for a while first or can I just sow away this week?

    The soil has been dug down to a depth of about two feet with the top six inches being a well-riddled tilth and the two inches below that being well-rotted horse manure.

    Any advice for a poor newbie?

    Hi there,

    I did the same this year and built several raised beds in my garden, after I had filled and dug them over I heeled a lot of the air out of them for the same reason, and the results have been great.

    I laid a plank over the areawalked on it then moved it over a little etc. you get the picture.

    With some plants like brassicas you may have to compact it a little more as they like to have solid roots but this should not hold you back.

    God luck
