Hi everyone!
Since I put my seedlings back in pots I have the small bed where they were that is currently empty. It's small enough that I could think of taking out that clay soil and fill it with a better soil.

It's narrow, I can't use a big spade to dig it (it's surrounded by rocks) but it's something I'd try.
How deep should I dig? It gets narrower getting toward the bottom.
Having to choose a new soil what would you reccomend? I don't love soils with much peat. I found one without peat that looks very good (used in pot and plants are doing well), it doesn't get waterproof when dry. It has PH 6. Or should I choose something more complex?

I'm thinking of doing this without any hurry, but aiming to have a new bed ready for september, hoping that my potted seedlings will grow and put them there.
Thank You!
