soil preparation


Hello Everyone !
I am new to square foot gardening - well - I'm new to even having a yard (
just so you know how basic I am... ) and my husband and I have just finished
building and burying ( very shallow ) our wooden frames for our beds.  What
a weekend !  Anyway.  My question is about making the recipe for the 'dirt'.
According to the sqft website and book, it says equal parts
peat/compost/coarse vermiculite.  My question is, does the peat have to be
moistened before using ( eek ! ) or can it be used dry and then watered in
with the other components upon completion to ready the bed.  
Thanks very much for your input.
