Also compost is a generic term for anything broken down.
If it is wood and leaves you are going to have almost zilch nitrogen.

AMEN, Worth!
I can't tell you home many people I consult with think the opposite.
MFS, if you wanna geek out a tad, and layering on top has worked for you over time, I'd keep doing that. Reason is, you are gonna destroy the soil food web that has been building in this existing bed all these years. Plus the second you till/turn/ dig into it, you introduce oxygen. This burns up any organic matter that is still in there.
Just something to consider.
