Our veggies are growing in raised beds. We used our sandy soil as fill for the bottom, and got a dump truck load of organic raised bed soil for the top half when we put them in. Now we just refresh the beds each year with a bag or two of bagged organic raised bed soil. We absolutely love our raised beds! I highly recommend them.
