Hi: I have an area that used to be a childrens playground area in my back yard. I am going to convert it to a garden. There is a brick retaining wall surrounding the new garden area.
I expect I'll need between 8 and 10 cubic yards of dirt/compost for the garden. At our local landfill they sell some really excellent compost, reminds me of the land I see when I go thru Iowa. But compost really isn't dirt/top soil.
Could I use all compost for my garden? If not, what would be a good ratio for compost to dirt?
