The best soil for raised beds is a mix that provides good drainage, fertility, and structure. Here’s a recommended blend:
Topsoil (50-60%):
Provides a solid base and structure for plants to grow.
Compost (30-40%):
Adds organic matter, nutrients, and improves soil health.
Aeration Material (10-20%):
Include materials like coarse sand or perlite to ensure proper drainage and prevent compaction.
Tips for Raised Bed Soil:
Depth: Ensure the soil is at least 12-18 inches deep to allow roots to grow freely.
Refresh Annually: Add a layer of compost each year to maintain fertility.
