And a "side question" - how much soil do I need for 4'x12' raised bed?
I'd appreciate the information.
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.
