Lucy,
     If you are going to raise your garden, I can't help you because I
have no idea how deep the boxes should be.  If however, you want to
garden on the ground, there are a couple of products that will enable
you to do so, even with three pets.  The first is called Fido Shock and
is a small version of the fence charger like cattlemen put around the
pasture to keep the bull in.  Most pet stores carry these or can order
one for you.  The cost is approximately $50.  Run a wire low enough so
your dogs can't scoot under and high enough so they can't step over and
your garden is safe.  Your other choice is an underground fence system.
These are simple to install and you can find units for as low as $100,
though there are also units as high as $1000.  There is essentially no
difference except in price.  The only drawback to the underground system
is that you have three dogs which will require you buying three collars.
I don't think the collars can be bought seperately.
