I'm going to build raised beds for my irises because all I have is heavy
clay and amending the soil would take years to make it usable I think.
I'll be doing TB, MBD, and SBD.  I believe I got all those abbreviations
correct.  I'm learning as I go.

So my question is, what soils should I purchase from home improvement
stores to use?  Garden soil, garden soil and top soil?  These soils which
include fertilizers such as miracle gro (these are often on special which
is why they're included in the question.)  Other options?  Include other
amendments?

Thanks for any suggestions.
