Soil Mix for the Raised Bed

  • Print

The preferred mix for the 4'x8' unit is:

  • 3/4 cubic yard good topsoil or topsoil/compost,
  • 2 bags of Back to Earth or Metro 702,
  • 1# Yum Yum mix or some good organic fertilizer,
  • 1# Humate or Worm castings.

Put in 1/2 the ingredients and mix thoroughly, and then add the other 1/2 and mix. Remember, like location, location, location, it's all about soil, soil, soil!

The mix for the 4'x4' unit is 1/2 of the 4'x8', and the 4'x6' unit is in between the two.
