If the area is large and you need to purchase soil to be delivered by a truck, order a three way mix which contains topsoil, sand and compost. If the garden is small and you want to purchase bagged soil, purchase topsoil and bagged compost and mix them together in the bed. Use 1 bag of compost for every 3 bags of topsoil and mix everything well, then plant your veggies. Best wishes with your garden!
