In this video, I share how to fill raised garden beds with the best garden soil mix for as cheaply as possible. Gardeners spend way too much money filling raised garden beds with expensive, pre-bagged mixes and unnecessary additives like peat moss, coco coir, perlite, and vermiculite, but that is a mistake. Stop wasting money filling raised beds! Fill them like this.
This method of filling a raised bed can save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars depending on the size of your garden. Don't pay high prices for soil at big box stores!
