I’m getting couple more Raised Beds two foot deep I’m thinking of filling them with equal mix of Top Soil and Compost. Level out each year with just Compost.

What do you think?

Save yourself some Topsoil and weight and use a bottom layer of HK material several of us Forum members are having success with.... or just ignore and proceed. 🤠

Too much compost. 30% compost is max. Take @Meadolark's advise.
