Can anyone please help me; i've been asking for days, no reply. I have built raised garden beds 16 inches high. Is it ok to fill the bottom 8-10 inches with good dirt, then put 6-8 inches of Mel'sMix on top???

You don't even need "good dirt" in the lower part. You can put your choice of "fill" in the bottom, a layer of weed cloth, THEN your Mel's Mix.

JC, Welcome to the SFG Forum. The answer to your question is yes you may fill the bottom with what ever and the top 6 inches of Mel's Mix.


I do find it curious that you say you have asked this question for days, yet this is your first post. Where were you asking this question previously?
