I am trying the following method to provide "sides" and "ends" to my raised
beds. I have rototilled several 3' wide by varying length beds to a depth of
12 or so inches. I then "pulled" with a hoe, the soil, into "banks" about 6"
high, to form the borders, next I filled these depressions with compost
thereby creating "natural" raised beds. Since my soil is red clay I expect
the borders to harden rather like adobe. Will let you all know how this
works out.
