Using Compost Raised Beds

12 years ago

I am putting in two raised beds next year in my garden, one 4x4 for winter squash (just for the roots, I am having them snake over my yard out of the bed), and one 8x4 for lettuce, radishes, eggplants, and peppers.

After much searching, I have found a place nearby that sells "5 Way Compost". It's at a price I can afford easily for the soil needs I have, and here is the little portfolio on it :

This compost is our best compost. Great in vegetable gardens or even top dressing a yard Made with 30% cow compost, 10% sheep compost, 10% chicken bedding, and 25% straw and 25% aspen fines.

I was just wondering if a compost is good for ALL of the soil. As in, if I just bought several cubic yards of this, filled the beds with them, and planted, would that go over well, or would the plants freak out and die on me?

Thanks for your very valuable time and for answering my probably very stupid question.
