A: Hi Elly!

A: Hello! Thanks for your question! While our Organic Garden Soil can be used in raised garden beds, it's specially formulated to be mixed with native soil for in-ground planting, where it really shines. If you're planting in raised beds, we recommend our Raised Bed Mix for best results — it's designed specifically for that setup. But feel free to experiment and see what works best for your garden!
