The purpose of making the raised bed is to eliminate the need for adding fertilizer and additonal ammendments for a period of time. The layers of materials decompose to create essentially a raised compost pile.
Materials:
- Soil
- Dried leaves
- Unfinished Compost
- Compost
- Leftover potting soil
Personally, I added a layer of drainage material, (clay) and then a layer of compost.
Then I added unfinished compost and a layer of leaves.
To finish the pile, I added finished compost and some old potting soil.
Then you're done! I watered in most of the layers. And now I can plant directly into all sides.
