Soil suggestions for a native butterfly garden in a raised bed
Hi all, I've got a raised bed that hasnt been used in years. It's currently filled with some kind of potting mix with a little topsoil thrown on top. It's roughly 4'x6' with wood sides. I'll water using ollas.
My plan is to plant native desert plants that will support local butterflies. I've got various milkweeds and flowers, all native and low-medium water needs.
How should I prepare the soil in the raised bed? Most of the info I can find is for planting vegetables or ornamentals. I assume my plants will have different needs than vegetables, but also different needs than normal due to the raised bed. What do you think?
