Skip the vermiculite and peat moss?

Does anyone skip vermiculite & peat moss and ONLY use compost in their square foot garden?

I've got a LOT of good compost available that is pretty varied as far as materials go.

I'm in central Alabama and we get a decent amount of rain.

The cost of vermiculite and peat moss around here for the scale I need (~70 cubic feet of EACH) is just crazy expensive, while the compost is cheap/free.

Also, this is for raised beds (8" deep).
