For most garden beds, a quality garden soil mixed through with organic compost gives you the best results. The compost improves structure and adds nutrients, while the soil provides the base your plants need to establish. Top dressing with compost each season keeps the bed productive long-term. 

Our veggie mix is purpose-built for vegetable gardens - high in organic matter, free-draining, and nutrient-rich. For raised vegetable garden beds, fill with veggie mix and top up with organic compost each season to maintain soil health and keep yields strong. 

Garden soil is formulated for in-ground planting and outdoor use. Potting mix is a lighter, free-draining blend designed specifically for containers and pots. Using garden soil in pots tends to compact and restrict root growth, while using potting mix in-ground can cause drainage issues. If you need potting mix, see our potting mix page. 

Use our volume calculator - enter the length, width, and depth of your bed and it'll give you the volume in cubic metres. As a rough guide, a standard 2m x 1m bed at 300mm deep needs around 0.6 cubic metres of soil.
