Top soil on its own probably doesnt have enough nutrients for top quality veg. Im sure you know a local farmer who can get you a few bucketfuls! good luck. Steve Hi John,

You need to get a good bit of manure in there as well! Top soil on its own probably doesnt have enough nutrients for top quality veg. Im sure you know a local farmer who can get you a few bucketfuls!
good luck.
