Hi,
Is it best to use topsoil or manure (horse or chicken) in raised
beds?

what type of soil? whatever you have around to put in it.



NO!

Building raised beds is the best ever opportunity to get good
qaulity/condition soil.

If yoy have clay soil, DO NOT fill the beds with it!

If you have very light sndy soil DO NOT fill the beds with it!

If you have a stoy soil DO NOT fill your beds with it

Whatever natural soil you have make sure you raised beds contain a humous
rich, light, stone free, workable mix of soils & compost/manures
