stand dog poo cannot be used as a fertiliser, will it leach up into the raised vegie garden? we have a "poo Pit" which we move around, the dog poo is buried underground and the poo obviously breaks down over time, sometimes with the help of lime.
As long as your raised bed soil is NOT touching the ground soil in any way then this could be safe. However, if your raised bed soils touch your ground soils, then you will be putting yourself and family at risk of deadly bacteria and diseases. The recommendation is letting the soil remain untouched for 120 days before planting anything, but if there will be more pet poop near the area, then this will never be safe for planting.

Can I amend my raised garden bed soil with topsoil conditioner? The bag says in ground garden use. I bought it before fully reading directions.
Yes, if it has the "conditioners" in it that you wanted for your raised bed. Check the list of ingredients for compost, peat or coir, manure. Any of those would enhance your raised bed.
I just had a rock garden frame built and now it is ready to start filling it. What do I do? What do I buy? What are the layers that I need?
Now is the time to start building your soil. There are many ways to go about this. Here are some articles that will help:

do I go about doing this and prevent the previous plants from growing back and taking over Over grown garden lots of tree shrubs and flowers and a few blackberry and blue Berry bushes, no idea what I'm doing and it's a very big forst project. Trying to replant my flowers in an over grown planter from previous occupants how do I remove the previous plants fully and make sure they don't grow back or over take my new plants once planted.
You will treat these as weeds! My favorite method of removal is using boiling water. It will kill off your target plants while leaving your soil safe to plant, immediately. There are other ways, if you choose, though. These articles will help:

There are several reasons why carrots and radishes may not form roots properly. One reason could be that they were planted in hot weather, as they germinate best in soil temperatures between 55 and 75 degrees F. If the soil is too warm, the seeds may struggle to germinate. Warm temperatures can also dry out the soil, making it difficult for the seeds to germinate. To retain moisture, you can cover the seeds with grass clippings or a row cover. Another common cause is heavy soil, such as clay, which prevents good root formation and can result in twisted roots. To improve heavy soil, you can add sand, broken down leaves, or well-rotted compost before planting. However, be cautious about using too much nutrient-rich compost, as excess nitrogen can lead to beautiful green tops but poor root development. Overcrowding can also hinder root formation, so it's important to thin the seedlings to 1-2 inches apart a week after sowing, and then thin them again to 3-4 inches apart a few weeks later. Insufficient water can also affect root development, so it's recommended to water deeply once a week in most soils, and more frequently in sandy soil or during periods of heat and drought. Lastly, root-knot nematodes can cause deformities. A soil test can confirm their presence, and if they are found, solarization (using plastic sheeting to heat the soil) or moving the them to a different location may be necessary.

I just moved into a new house that had some existing and neglected elevated garden beds, that all looked similar to the one pictured. Grass, some weeds, etc. I removed as much of the overgrowth as I could, but I am wondering if I need to completely remove the soil as well. I have a new bag of raised bed soil. Can I just add that to the top, or do I need to completely replace? Thanks!
You could just work it in, along with some compost or manure.

This summer it rained & was humid most of the time causing brown spot on most of the plants. Only got a handful of green beans. Sprayed but it rained almost everyday & was hot & humid. I’ve pulled up or cut off most of the vegetables in prep for a fall garden. Do I need to spray the soil now or what? Really don’t want brown spot to attack new plants. We should be getting cooler next month. Next week it’s suppose to be in the mid 70’s with lows in the upper 50’s at night.
While it's still warm you can solarize the soil. Here is how:
