the gunny sacks would work but you might need more then 3 months for the compost to finish and be plantable the biggest risk in planting in pure compost is it not being finished yet and heating up ..in the gunny sack method i would mix the compost with something else before use to help reduce the chance it will go off again
my favorite way of filling raised beds is the hugelkultur method … start with large pieces of wood, logs and sticks and such on the very bottom to take up space and retain water, back fill with whatever organic material you might have wood chips ,saw dust, cut grass, unfinished compost pretty much anything to fill in spaces between large wood and fill the bed, add moisture to this layer, using JMS here is a good way to get microbes going in this mid layer, reserve the top 8-10 in (20-25 cm) and fill with a mixture of compost, IMO4 and biochar FMCs also work really good here can also add some bulking substrates in the soil mix like coco coir or peat moss maybe some perlite, if you need to bulk out the soil mix (this is the soil mix i used to bulk out all my garden beds) …top dress with IMO4, water in with Soil Prep Formula and plant …depending on how deep the raised beds are you might need to dig down a little for layer 1 …. hugelkultur is a mounding system at its roots and the mound planting might also work well in agroforestry

never heard of using fruits to make a IMO3 and i would not think it would be a complete carb sufficient for making IMO3, but a great source of complete carbs that can be found almost anywhere very cheaply is cheap bags of dog food it is packed full of grains and is a complete carb, rolled or crimped oats sold as horse feed is another good inexpensive source …id use the apples to make KNF foods (FPJ/FFJ) and KNF cleanser (BRV) can use un-ripe apples to make Sour Food, ripe apples for Sweet Food along with other fruits and ripe/over-ripe apples to make Cleanser… chipped maple and apple wood would make for great carbon in a IMO3 lots of sugars to help boost microbe production
