You asked (Friday, May 09, 1997 5:58 AM) about garden bed construction:

The 3' beds are 6 to 8" high, flat-topped for about 24" and sloping down
over edge 6".  Approximate dimensions.  

Judy, I plant the sloping sides of the beds, too.  I firm the sides gently
with the back of a hoe (and gently is a critical word), then cover with a
mulch.  It seems to work.
