Gardenville has the best compost, in my opinion.  They have different
grades and they'll deliver too.  I started using it for everything last
year - including all my raised beds and everything just grew so well!
My salvias acvtually started to get invasive and I had to cut them all
back mid-summer.  You are right abt raised beds in Austin..whether it's
limestone or black clay, they're the only way to go.
