I always think a well mixed mixture of 1/4 sterile topsoil, 1/4 sharp sand and 2/4 well rotted garden compost is good (also add a couple of handfuls of pelleted chicken manure). You will need to add more manure and some extra compost each year and replace the mixture every 3 years (dig it into the borders).
Alternatively you could purchase bags of a proprietary garden tub compost.

Compare and contrast the two methods of soil conservation present in the lesson Which do you think is more effective or do you think they are equally effective Be sure to justify your answer?
i think that the 2 main types of soil conservation are natural and man made. for example, a natural soil conservation technique is trees being planted along the line of loose gravel or soil. the tree's roots will hold the soil in place and help prevent erosion. a man made soil conservation technique is putting a concrete barrier along the edge of loose gravel or soil. the problem is not the fact that is holds the soil in place, but it is just as vunurable to weathering as the gravel is. overtime the barrier will weather away. the trees are able to heal themselves after weathering but the concrete, plastic, metal, or plaster barriers cannot repair themselves and require constant maintanance which will take both time and money. trees on the other hand need no maintanance and repair themselves therefore are alot cheaper and more affective then barriers. copy and paste this to your answer box for question 31 on submission 8 for envirnmental science.

You should have at least 12 inches of soil for root growth and plant stability. The rest of the height is simply for the gardener's convenience. In your box, that means around 1 cubic foot of soil.
