We use the basically the same in our raised beds. 50/50 mix of topsoil and compost. Works well and we had great results last year with it.
We added another bed this season and ordered more. The guy who delivers for us , backs up to the bed, lifts the bed and hits the mark. He’s 3 for 3!
Some jackwagon dug an obstacle in the way of that.

What are the dimensions Jon and where’d you get it?
6’ x 3’. We got it at the Cincinnati Home show a month or so ago. The company is called vegepod. This is a pic with the greenhouse cover on. It supposed to keep it about 15° warmer than the outside temp. Once it is steadily warmer I will pull it off. It was more than I wanted to pay. They said it was a home show special but they all say that. I think not having to weed and it being at a comfortable height will make it worth it as long as everything grows well. I used Bags of garden soil in it to have good fresh fertilized dirt.

Jon, are wheels on it to make it somewhat movable?

Pruned back blackberry shoots and pulled out all dead ones. Had two good hopper full size of grass clippings from the lawn sweeper so I spread around all my plants. Had a few die last year that I replaced with red raspberries to have more of an assortment. Just before this rain that’s coming which is TOO good.

I would rate our starter plants at an A- right now. I left them outside on a cold snap about 10 days ago and it affected a few of them. The vertical growth has been slow, but they're all filling out. The big garden will get tilled a couple more times and we should be ready to plant in 3 weeks!
