how do i make better soil?

Im very very new to gardening. Ive been trying to get a nice flower bed going, but the soil is so hard. When I dug out my flower beds the ground was packed solid. I dug it out and added garden soil and kinds mixed it in.. but the soil still needs some love. What can I do? I considered composting, but that will take awhile to produce anything useful.

Woodchips, leaves, bag of topsoil, bag of manure, bag of co post, grass clippings or any greens clipped from your yard. Chop/mix up as best as you can. Add crushed eggshells. Cut up cardboard into 1” pieces too. And compost isnt as hard as you think it is if you use the right materials. I make my own high nutrient rich soil. And a few plants that I have my own soil mix in are just going insane.

3 info pics on what to use when composting. Smaller material like grass clippings & sawdust being the fastest greens & browns to break down making higher temps forcing faster turnover 💪🏽
