The Proper Soil Mix for a Raised-Bed Garden

I recommend amending your soil every year for your vegetable garden to give your vegetables the best start to the growing season.  We recently built a new fence and had to move my vegetable garden and replaced all of the soil. The best raised-bed gardens include a mix of topsoil and compost such as pine bark or wood chips, which allow for good water and nutrient retention and excellent drainage. 

If you need alot I would recommend a trip to Lynsgo for their vegetable blend which contains compost with manure.  It is a good general mix for all veggies.  If you just need a couple of bags I like the Doctor Earth Organic Vegetable Blend that includes earthworm castings, kelp, fish bone meal and lots of rich organic nutrients.
