Scott, I did C and D, mixing the soil according to Mel's recipe.   We got 
moles and gophers, so I needed to keep them from digging in, and the soil 
here is mostly decomposed granite.
As for A and B, I chose to use rough cut redwood for my boxes.  You should be 
able to get it up there pretty easily (I'm in San Diego) and it's very 
resistant to rot and bugs, and is a nice, attractive wood.
