I have a small back garden - 2/3 covered in ugly slabs (future project costing too much £ at the moment ). Running down side of the garage is a flower bed that I have haphazardly filled with cuttings, seeds and spring bulbs.TBH it is a mess except for some pink mallow and perenial sweetpeas that I have pared right back. .
I decided to dig it up (except for mallow , sweetpeas and a few lupins) and add potting compost .after a lot of digging I have found it is really shallow eg. less than a foot to brickwork base. So I'm not sure if I should treat it like a big pot ? I'm amateur , lived in a flat previously and don't have loads of time but really enjoy looking out at some colour .
It is in sun part of the day and taller plants tend to lean away from the garage. We are in Scotland as well !
I can try and add a picture if that would help. Would love advice on soil, what plants to put in .
thanks
