That is a given, soil needs to be filled and turnover every year for a vegetable garden. Peat moss, garden soil, lime and composted manure -

Just add in fresh potting soil, garden soil, whatever you put in the garden when you started it. I add soil to my veggie garden every year if I need it. Just don't use top soil, there is no nutrition in it, just dirt. -

You will always need to keep adding soil and other amendments each year since much of it seeps out when you water. It is a good idea anyway since the soil loses much of its nutrient value when it flushes away. -

Hi Helen. Every year I add compost, cow manure, sand, and peat moss. You can also just add top soil.
