This is a newly planted bed that contains mostly succulents. The soil is clay, so I added lots of forest type compost to break up the clay. I also added coarse sand and chicken grit to increase drainage during the rainy season.
It is a west facing bed and gets sun during the hottest part of the day. Winter and spring is our rainy season, and rains pretty much all the time from January to May. From July through September we usually get no rain, it becomes very dry during those months.
