Just that really! Decided to create a raised bed for growing vegetables, DH popped to Wickes to get a few bags of top soil. It smelt when we opened the bags but thought it would ease. Two weeks later and it still smells, a mix of manure and a bit chemically (like petroleum). My veg aren’t growing particularly well, other than the tomatoes. Bit concerned about the pong as we’d obvs planned to eat what we are growing. I have added some compost to break it up.
has anyone had similar? Any tips or advice?
