Question by petersruby20: How much compost and soil for a 4x8x1 raised vegetable garden bed?
I have an 8-foot long by 4-foot wide by 1 foot deep raised garden bed for vegetables. What should I fill it with and how much? I assume I need compost and soil. Wondering how much of each, or what else I need to use?
Thanks

  1. You will need about two tons of top soil to fill your raised bed and rake a bag of compost into the top 3 to 4 ins and plant –best of luck –yours
