I used raised bed soil last year in a spot and my plants didn't like it but it could have been the brand as well. I would get a bag and see how it looks and if it looks good and healthy get more of that kind. Another method is to mix raised bed soil with garden soil and/or potting soil.

Also if you go to a big box store you can get get ripped bags for half off. I needed alot of soil last year so I got a good 20 bags or so of soil half off that I'm using this year for pots. Saved me quite a bit of money.

Oh! That's a great idea! I usually put those aside and get the intact bags! Thanks for that idea!
