Hi Barb,
Our soil drains very well - very little clay - so we built the 24" high and the 12" high beds on top of the existing soil. Then filled the beds with the potting mix. I do add a layer of compost every year but I have not yet needed to replace the potting mix. But I will replace it when it becomes necessary. Brandy Boy is an incredible producer for us! I don't pinch out any blossoms because most the fruit weighs between 10 - 16 oz anyway !!
