[QUOTE="pluckem, post: 215569, member: 843"] Id take full advantage of the raised beds your building and think of them more as planters/pots. Most don't put black dirt in planters, at least if you want the best success. You use a bedding mix.. some mixture of peat moss, vermiculite, compost, etc... Depending on what is going in each one you don't need to fill the entire bed up with the mixture. Put down some gravel, pea rock as a base then some fabric to make sure you don't lose the bedding mix into the gravel, but allows excess water to drain. Besides having weeds and plants at a more ergonomic height, IMO the main advantage of raised beds is it allows you to create a more superior blend of soil and keep it isolated from native soil. As well as providing fool proof moisture control (if you design it to). [/QUOTE]
