awesome Blaine.  How deep are the raised beds going to be?

One suggestion is to send some soil samples to the local ag extension.

Higher Caliber:
At the lowest point 24” deep. Soil will be a mixture of mushroom compost, organic grass fed donkey poop and top soil from the river plain. This “wise man” built his house upon a rock. I have to truck soil in! Lol

Bob Smith:
Sounds like a good soil blend for growing. Is the river soil and donkey droppings processed or will you be fighting lots of unwanted growth the first couple years?

Wilbur:
Looks good! I'm sure it will produce a lot for you. I agree with testing the soil but it might make sense to wait to see how the soil breaks down and then see what nutrients are lacking.
