How I Build My Beds
https://youtu.be/ifUb8F9ySfo
30"x50' beds
12"-18" walkways (whatever you prefer)
Cover the ground with a silage tarp or graze with animals until all the weeds are killed. Broadfork, put down cardboard, wet the down the cardboard, add 4-5" of compost in the beds and put wood chips in the walkways. This turns out to be about 2.5 cubic yards of compost per 30"x50' bed. I buy commercially made compost and get my wood chips from local tree companies for free.
