I am curious about how much fresh compost you add to the raised beds each year. Things break down so quickly in my coastal climate where it is damp and hot. We have significant sink holes where there were buried tree stumps/roots. I envision losing about 6" minimum a year in a bed like this. That's a lot of fresh compost to add unless one were just doing annuals or veggies. What am I missing?

Greene, you are in my neck of the woods, I would be interested in hearing how your bed works out.
