Default Using Compost without Soil?

Hi all,

Is it alright to use compost straight without mixing it with soil or
other additives? *I plan to fill up some raised beds with cheap compost
that I can get from a local recycle center.

Thanks.




What do they make the compost from? Trees & such? No organics
mixed in , like grease, meat, etc/

I prefer to mix with at least 1/3 soil. Interested to see what others
do.

Also, I'll spread on top of veg. beds to keep in moisture; avoid dry,
cracked earth.
