Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Personally, an effort to level is good if looking at cockeyed lines makes
you crazy.  In haste I "plopped" down two 4x8' beds last spring - one was
fine but the other was definately sloping when you looked at both of them
together.  I am now digging out the dirt for other use and moving the
slanted bed to a new and carefully leveled location.

It is reccomended by some that you churn up the ground where you put the bed
before you fill it.  I was told that if I didn't do that, the drainage would
not be good.  Course, my soil has high clay content.  We made a humble
effort at breaking up the surface and have not had problems with standing water.
