filling raised beds with soil

8 years ago

I am building 3 raised beds 4'x12' 24" high. I am planning on getting amended topsoil delivered to fill them. (amended with a small amount of compost).

My questions are

1, Does this sound like a good growing medium

2. Will this be sufficient to sustain the beds for years and will just adding a top layer of compost every year do the trick for me?


I have a compost pile so I don't want to ever buy material again so I'm wondering if this will be a good base that will last a lifetime and all I will have to do it amend them with compost every year.

Does this sound logical?

Thanks

Dave
