We're just putting in our raised bed, I know it's a little late but hey. I've been advised as you've suggested to go with 50/50 topsoil and compost.

I've found a local stables with mature manure so am just tracking down topsoil. I've been offered this:

PAS100 10mm down compost for £20 per tonne

This isn't what I'm after right?! Am really struggling with finding affordable topsoil. Cheapest I've found is £50 for 1 tonne and guess this is going to be enough when mixed with my manure.

All help gratefully received!
