I have a heap of organic matter ibn my raised gardens andn it works for
me. I obsessed for a couple of years about putting it in to the soil.
Having seen that things work ok without my obsession, I just add the
inputs & let the plants get on with growing.

I'm the same way. I just throw whatever I have available at any particular
time of year--whether that be old leaves, fresh grass clippings, pulled
weeds, or kitchen scraps--into the beds and let nature work it out. I do
pretty well that way.
