Thanks for the input. These raised beds (raised cold frames) are raised up off the floor on cinder blocks in my greenhouse, so they are already removed from the "natural" environment. I have also supplemented the mix with dolomite lime, a slow release organic fertilizer and Mycorrhizal Fungi Inoculant....maybe I should have mentioned this in my last post.
I already had a lot of peat moss and vermiculite, which is a mineral, not styrofoam. (I buy it in a 4' cubic bag for only $25...one bag is more than enough for an 18 square foot, 12" deep cold frame), and the compost came from my compost pile so I know exactly what is in it. (I never buy soil or compost from a store. That stuff is expensive garbage for the most part.) What bad experiences did you have? I will keep a close eye on it.
This is a pic of the cold frames just after I filled them with the mix.
