Always do a vegetable garden (mostly tomatoes) this year I am adding a series of raised cedar planters that are approximately 2' x 4' each (see attached photo) Plan on doing mostly small stuff of course (radishes, small carrots, herbs, lettuce etc)
My question is.... for the start year what is best recommended I fill them with? It seems that bags of potting soil really is very light and has no density... should I go with regular topsoil? Also what nutrients are best.... I was thinking about adding maybe a 1/2 bag of manure and 1/2 bag of Humus to each containr but I will take any recommendations
