Hello Talia
I acknowledge your commitment!
As you say that is a lot of compost. As Tris says above, there are cheaper ways to buy it.
And also as he says, why such a big area?
My dig/no dig beds, including two paths are 20sqm, both beds, and last year they produced 200kg veg.
Four such beds would be sufficient for many families.
So are you proposing a market garden?
