Raised-bed Gardening
Raised-bed gardening is a form of gardening in which the soil is raised above ground level and usually enclosed in some way. Raised bed structures can be made of wood, rock, concrete or other materials, and can be of any size or shape. The soil is usually enriched with compost.
Vegetables are grown in geometric patterns, much closer together than in conventional row gardening. The spacing is such that when the vegetables are fully grown, their leaves just barely touch each other, creating a microclimate in which weed growth is suppressed and moisture is conserved.

Raised bed gardens can be a great option for most gardeners. Building and growing in raised beds can be easy and very productive.

Well, if you want it to last, you either need to use a rot resistant species (cedar, or redwood, for example), treated lumber (not going to argue if this is good or bad, just pointing out that it is a choice), some sort of plastic based product (such as composite landscape border) or you have to prevent the wood from coming in direct contact with the the soil and/or moisture.

Bill Orlowski has developed a model for the beds, and says cost varies between $93 and $115 to construct them, depending on the lumber costs at the yard.
