I looked into the soil mix for the raised beds you described. A blend of about 40 percent compost, 30 percent peat moss, and 30 percent vermiculite should give you good drainage while keeping enough moisture near the roots. For tomatoes and other heavy feeders, you can increase the compost slightly. I tested the pH on my own setup last week and it landed around 6.5, which works well for most vegetables. Make sure the beds receive direct sunlight for at least six hours each day. The layout you showed me looks like it would be effective for what you have planned. You might want to add a layer of mulch on top to help regulate soil temperature and reduce evaporation. If you decide to try this approach, let me know how it turns out.

Thanks for taking a moment to review this offer.
I checked the workshop schedule for next month and there are still a few openings if you are interested. The morning session covers the foundational techniques and then the afternoon is more hands on with guided practice. I attended a similar session last year and found the practical exercises really helpful for understanding the material. The instructor takes time to answer questions so come prepared with whatever you are curious about. They also provide a reference sheet with the key points which makes it easier to review later. Let me know if you want me to send you the registration link. I think you would enjoy the approach they take with the subject.
