I made some new raised beds for tomatoes for this year. My husband built wood frames, then I covered the lawn with cardboard. I added several inches of soil (a truckload of crappy clay "topsoil") because I wanted the soil level to be raised above where it began. Then I heaped on organic matter- mostly grass clippings and fall leaves, but also some yard waste, coffee grounds, straw, half done compost, whatever I could find. It ended up to be about 10"-12" of OM. I covered with cotton sheets and put it to bed around late October. It's still covered, but I expect nice soil for my tomatoes this year.
