And a "side question" - how much soil do I need for 4'x12' raised bed?

I'd appreciate the information.

for this size bed at 1' deep would require 4'x12'x1'=48 cu. ft. There are 27 cu. ft in 1 cu.yd. so you would need 1.77 cu. yd. for this size.
It would be easier to place a smaller size bed such as 4'x8'x1'=32 cu.ft and more of them for less cost. Do not use treated wood. Use Western Cedar as it is fairly rot resistant and will last many years.
