Thanks Lane and BB, as an update I went with mushroom compost, 2 cubic yards of the stuff - that's a lot of muck!
I have discovered that the soil beneath the lawn that I ripped up to make the flowerbeds is in fact lovely rock-hard compressed clay, not nice light loamy soil at all! So now I have had to hire a rotovator as I ain't digging this blerry lot up manually!!
So this weekend I am rotovating and adding the compost and sand (for improved drainage), I wonder when I'll actually get round to the planting!!!!
Photo's soon, as promided.
