compost or soil

I have built a 12″ border around my existing Vegetable garden. I need to add at least 5″ of either compost or soil. I was going to use commercial compost, if this is right when should I add it now in the Fall or wait until the Spring.

It would not hurt to add a little of both, but if you had to choose, then compost would be more beneficial. I like to add in the fall to give it time to break down a little in the soil.
