I've finished building Tuleo's raised bed oasis (recap - we are moving in a year or so and due to yard size/layout we figured this would be the best upgrade till our move to a larger property. The next owners will have a lovely raised bed as it is 5 feet x 12 feet x 26" tall.) My plan is to fill it not quite halfway with a ton of wondrous things, hiding hole or two, two large water dishes and build a cover and let him out in it weather permitting.
He will be 2 in July (you can see how big it is compared to him currently - I just completed it so it isn't where it will be (not in full sun) and he will not be in it as is, so please don't freak out...lol) I just placed him in as a photo comparison.
Anyways - I was looking at getting a yard of soil delivered since his enclosure is so large but now I am wondering if I should get bagged soil instead. Out here we have topsoil you can get delivered by the yard. It doesn't really say what is in it. Thoughts? Should I just go to the hardware store and buy soil and maybe peat moss to mix in, keep it moist? What would the best/safest mix for him be in this type of enclosure ?
I appreciate the help (as always!)
