You should still have plenty of time to get some soil prepped to fill the raised bed. Mix your native soil about 75/25 with organic matter and that should do it. Use a good potting soil for the bag and you're good to go!
Try posting pics instead of video.

But it does depend on whether you’re planting in pots, like inside, or planting in the ground. I’m not sure ‘cover crops’ really work in pots.
Oh yes it works very well for me.

The soil looks ok. It's spring time. What are you going to plant?

It is by far the best way to go as long as you use sound, knowledgeable practices in doing so.

One can screw things up themselves more than even the so-called professionals do. It is easy to mess things up, but can be difficult to straighten them out.
