Hi to all,
This will be my second year of growing my own vegetables and last year I had grown them all in pots which didnt go to plan as such, so this year i have built a vegetable bed in my back yard and after hours and hours on my hands and knees with lots of bricks, I have now hit a stumbling block. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST SOIL OR COMPOST TO FILL MY BED? This is the burning question. Hope somebody can help me out there.

). I find bought compost too light 
if that makes any sense. Last year when I made my raised bed, I was able to chuck in bits of bonfire ash, some leftover sand and bits of hard clay that was lying around in the garden (but they do break down in the soil). I therefore think I have soil with a very good structure
