Thanks! I did a few online searches but didn’t know if there’s one that someone could vouch for.

Any way to see what they offer without signing up? I tried to check it out but it makes you create an account with all kinds of info before showing you what they offer.

Mix in other soils not just compost. Straight compost in your raised beds doesn't work as well as you want.

Try to get screened stuff. I've gotten compost from an area farm which obviously took yard waste (leaves) for some of their "brown." I had bits of glass, pieces of children's toys, wire, etc mixed in. I felt like I had put trash into my garden.

Our town has it for free-maybe check n see if yours does too?

Same, check with your town. Our dump offersv3 yards per month for free. They just compost all the yard clean up debris, so it's not the greatest but it worked fine for me.

Might be too far for you, but Dirt Doctors in Pembroke has really good compost

Knowles Tree Service in N. Hampton. As someone mentioned above do a mix of “super loam” (better than just “loam” much cleaner) and compost. They should have both. If no compost there, lots of landscaping outlets offer bagged compost and anybody there could help you pick a good one. You will not need a lot of compost, use super loam for 90%+ of your base. Mix in 1-2 bags of compost per bed. (7yrs of landscape experience)
