When we started looking into the best soil mix for our garden, to save some money and for other reasons I’ll explain below, we opted to explore the hugelkultur method for filling raised garden beds. Hugelkultur (German for "hill culture") mounds are often built directly on the ground, but you can use the same principles to fill a raised garden bed. The basic idea is to use old/rotting wood (be sure to identify the wood you're using; some wood is great for hugelkultur, some isn't). We have a ton of old wood on our property from all the trees that fall down after a storm or whenever my daughter sneezes.
