A very good article, Reid!
I agree with everything Reid said in his article! And I love raised beds. I build the bed frame, lay down a layer of cardboard inside the bed, add my dirt, compost, and pine fines. Mix and water periodically, then let sit for a week or two before planting in it. If you have worm compost, that is the best thing to use when you add your plants. Gives the plant roots a great start!
