There is an epidemic of gardeners filling raised garden beds with mixes designed for container gardening. This is a big mistake and can have harmful long-term effects on your raised bed garden. It is also a big waste of money, because potting soil blends are much more expensive than proper raised garden bed soil. I will teach you how to fill a raised garden bed correctly, cheap and easy, and why you must avoid making raised garden bed mixes out of this common ingredient. This ingredient destroys raised garden beds. Stop using it now!
