Now you have more questions and we want to pass on some of what we've done. There are a lot of places out there offering their services - and offering their planting devices. It's up to you to research.
The Simple Farm does not support any one system. We might have some recommendations - but that's all we can do.
Soil Resources
If we were doing only a few small raised beds, we love and have used (in the past) Square Foot Gardening soil mix. It's available at Home Depot and Lowes.
Here is another source - local - Zakes Farmacy. I've not used it - don't know much about them, but it comes with a nice recommendation.
If you are building a LOT of raised beds, like we have done - OR if you are needing to create in ground space - we have had happy soil from a valley company called Gro-Well. They have several kinds of soil so you need to speak to them about your needs.
Singh Farms is another resource for soil/compost. They are off the 101 (Scottsdale) and Thomas Rd.
