    Ah, now that is interesting! I don't have rubbish soil for them - they will be planted in a reusable growbag full of compost. As each bag takes roughly 180 litres of compost, they aren't the cheapest to fill - so would I be better buying top soil instead?

    Again I'm not the expert, but 50/50 mix of compost and sand perhaps?
