Howdy, Newbie here, joined today. *waves*. 
I am keen as mustard but very much a beginner.
I have bought a raised bed kit, and plan to site the raised bed in my garden where there is currently a big mound of soil that was dug out for a shed base and left, pending somebody coming along and moving it. Which didn't happen.
This big mound of soil is now covered with grass and weeds (some pretty, I grant you 
). My question is, can I use this soil, once I have de-weeded and taken out all the grass - most likely by getting rid of the top section? Or would it be better to get rid and start anew with some fresh compost and manure? I want to grow runner beans in the bed.
