Coal in the garden...

PlantyPru · 2020-07-29 13:42:55

So I'm digging out a big patch under the neighbours conifers where I'm going to put grasses and hostas but the old chap who lived here before us had a habit of dumping all the coal at the top of the garden... I'm getting out what I can but there will still be a lot left buried, will it be detrimental to the plants going in…

I find bits of coal in the soil but I just assumed it was the ashes from the fire places. the house was built in the 30s (?) and original owner died about the mid 80s.
