Karen
Going to have a 6" raised board all around the garden perimeter (to keep soil from washing away) but will have a series of raised 'berm beds' for planting and mulched pathways around the berm beds.

Yes. We figure the money we save on growing our own veggies will pay for the cost of putting in the garden in about... 50 years.
Just kidding (sort of)- this garden will not save us money for many years to come....but it will give us a happier healthier lifestyle, and that's worth a lot! Sort of like our bikes.
