What kind of raised garden beds do you have? DH and I are going to have raised beds next year. We found one at Gardener's Supply we like. They're on sale now ($67.99 for 3x6) http://www.gardeners.com/Grow%20Beds/VegetableGardening_RaisedBeds,34-381RS,default,cp.html

My BIL made them. :) Long wood ties about 4" wide held in place with rebar and railroad stakes.  The beds themselves are about 6' x 52' x 1'.

I think we may try to make our own. I hate to spend so much on the beds. I'll copy your picture and show DH. It looks pretty easy. Thanks!

I would say the difficult bit will be getting the proper grade and materials for drainage. I think there are a few inches of sand and gravel at the very bottom so that water doesn't pool in there and so that it drains out to the back of the property like the rest of the water would.
