Benji, put that raised bed where you want it, then turn the soild below it before filling it with black dirt. Then turn it again once the black dirt is int it. The 3.5" of the 2x4 on its side isn't deep enough for a bunch of plants eventual roots. Turning the first time loosens the grass and earth below. The second turn mixes the black dirt to the lower depth.

You might be able to get some cool season lettuce or broccoli going pretty soon! Double crop that SOB!
I've read about them and I think some restaurant in KC has something like that in their basement. Maybe the reiger hotel?
anyone heard of/ tried aquaponic gardening? You grow fish and plants at the same time with no soil. Basic set up looks something like this.The fish waste is pumped up to the grow bed and used as fertilizer for the plants who clean and filter the water and return it back to the fish holding tank. I don't really have any interest in eating the fish but it requires alot less water and grows plants 2-3X faster if done right.
