Raised beds

We've had a digger in and have had the garden turned and flattened.
Spent the weekend building raised beds for my veggies.
What combination do I need in the beds to keep plants happy please?
You've been really helpful with previous questions! X
Was going to use the soil from the garden- but its chunks of dead grass, stones, freaking holly (swear we had the biggest holly tree in the world- had to come out as was posing danger to our foundations sadly), small cuts of branches and I'm guessing lots of weeds.

I’d fill it with a mixture of general compost, soil improver and composted manure.
Order on line and have a bulk delivery.

Got any equestrian facilities nearby - if you want composted manure, that's the place to look! I've just had my 2 muck heaps removed and am filling all my containers with the black gold that has been left over Grin
