Question #2. We are creating a 20 x 25 plot (to be fenced, see above) in which we'll set about 180 sq ft of boxes. The plot's on a slope so we're constructing a retaining wall so the garden space will be more level. We need to add fill.

One of us wants to spread out topsoil in the 20x25; the other one is terrified of weeds everywhere and prefers to put down mulch, sand or gravel. The boxes will go on top of this material and filled with Mel's mix.

What do you experienced SQFT gardeners think? Are there other alternatives?
