That way you have good dirt for 24" or so.

Oxygen below 18 inches of soil is almost nonexistent. Trees can deal with it, down to 24 inches, but not necessary for plants.

Well I was talking more for nutrients and more importantly drainage. If he has hard clay just below his raised box, it would be very possible it wouldn’t drain well and may cause water to sit there. I don’t see what it would hurt? Seems better to have too much good soil then not enough.

I used 2 yards of worm dirt and it has given a beautiful veggie garden for 8 years now.
