Laying a base of chip bark in a planter?

Oscar_Madison · 2024-02-17 21:55:46

Is this a good idea? Or not? it’s probably a cheaper option short term to raise up the bed- but am I compromising plants and bulbs by having a 3-4 inch layer of chip bark before soil and fertiliser? Thoughts welcome

Only to the extent that it will rot down and leave you with your fill level - and therefore your plants - lower than you anticipated.
