Hi,
I am just ovening up a part of my garden for a vegetable garden and as we have issues (such as far reaching roots from a rowan tree) I was going to exten a raised bed which already has conifers in it.

However a friend advised me to check and see as she believes that vegetables are affected by conifers, this was all she could tell me, I was wondering if there is any truth in this and if so what?

Many thanks in advance

Michael

Conifers drop their needles and the needles add acid to the ground. Making an acidic soil it limits what you can plant. I don't think veges would grow if it is in the area where the needles would drop.
