plant-care Filling a raised bed

Hey guys. I'm filling a raised bed with about 5 yards of material. I've got a nice big pile of old dry grass clippings to mix into the bottom layers. What percent of compost should I mix into the soil? I understand you shouldn't grow veggies in pure compost. (I know they can grow in pure but a mixture or tip dressing is better?)

Should I buy 4 yards of garden soil and a yard of compost mixed into the top? I'll probably add some leaves and straw and stuff as the year goes by.
 
Filling it with compost is fine, add in up to a 3rd crushed lava rock for aeration and minerals
Mulching is a great idea
