 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.

Charlie, I have clay soil and have been trying to think of how to make beds 
in my new place here.  I have been here only 6 months and can't afford to 
build wooden beds right now.  You have come up with a solution for me.  I am 
going to try this too.  Hope this works for you.   Great idea and thanks.

Lisa
