As long as the compost is not hot it should be ok... some people start seeds
in compost. I dont do it this way. Id say get a soil test once a yr or when
starting a new area. Regardless of the test results...compost is good. If
the soil was less than ideal it would be reccomended to add compost.

Someone is telling me they're going to start a raised bed veggie garden
with a load of compost. Not digging it in, just planting in compost. When
I said, get a soil test first, and you need to dig the compost in etc...,
he said I was wrong. I don't mind being wrong, but am I missing something
here with what he's doing?

Thanks, Jeana
