If I was going to make raised bed, I would not worry too much in soil below, unless I would plant some edible plants in that bed. I would put my bed structure, put very thick layer of wet newspaper, topped up with garden soil, mulch and plant. I would also put some stuff from my Worm Farm.	0 0 Alert moderator
