I went to raised beds because there is a slight slope to my property but mainly because of the nasty trees and their roots - while the roots did grow into the raised beds, at least I was above the really big roots. Trees were taken down last year and those raised beds were a dream to dig this spring. And as Feldon mentioned - torrential rains - sometimes the paths are full of water with a plastic pot floating. Every 3-4 years I change the pattern of the raised beds. Piegirl
