The top soil that was dug out of the soon-to-be paving area lived in a mound for a couple of weeks, while I decided where to move yet another pile of dirt from A to B to C. In the end I decided to put it on top of the planters to fill them up a bit more. I had pea straw and a thin layer of compost on the planters, but they were only half full.
Some plants, like root vegetables, and potatoes and basically anything that doesn't want too many leafy green bits, needs something more than just compost, which will encourage all the leafy-ness at the expense of other things.
