Hi Craig,
Welcome to the Gardener's Forum.
I do my vegetable gardening in containers. The info below is from Sunset's Illustratted Vegetable Gardening Book.
Soil for [vegetable] raised bed gardening could be a rich, light soil mix, such as equal parts peat moss, compost and topsoil. First till the existing top soil, as you add the new soil, you can mix it with the existing soil in the bottom of the bed. Soak the bed before planting so the soil will settle to about 2 or 3 inches below the top of the bed.

Amor est vitae essentia.
Love is the essence of life.
