Mixing compost, topsoil, vermiculite, perlite... proportions?

hey folks!

I finally have the materials I'm going to use to fill my raised beds. I'm not buying anything else so kind of curious what you guys would say about proportions.

I got a delivery of compost, a delivery of topsoil, and I purchased large bags of vermiculite and perlite.

How about 40% Compost, 20% topsoil, 20% vermiculite, 20% perlite?

Not able to spend any more money on this!

Hi!

I am filling raised beds and running into a problem finding nontoxic topsoil. Everywhere around me has a hard time telling me where their topsoil comes from so I really don't feel like I can trust the bulk options. There's literally no way I could afford the amount of "bagged" omri certified topsoil I need.

I am filling raised beds. Most of them are 1 foot deep. can I use huglekulture to reduce my costs?

Or, could I just fill directly with a mix of composted manure and compost, of which I have plenty?

any help would be greatly appreciated.
