Raised bed mix

creeker · January 2, 2017

I have built 2 raised beds 4ft x 16ft and 11inches deep. Now to fill them. I have oeat moss, Black Kow composted cow manure, lots of it cause it was on sale at
WalMart last fall at about half price. Also have a good sized pile of last year's semi composted leaves. What would you all suggest as a mix for growing greens, root crops and other garden plants other than tomatoes, peppers and okra. Will also be getting pecan shells. Do I need pearlite or vermiculite in the mix? All help appreciated. Ron
