This is how it's done in many places, for example in Romania everyone I know does. One of the reason is tilling. You till and next year remake the beds. About 10cm high I guess, but you can make them taller (more work).
The tool you use is this: https://www.praktiker.ro/sapa-cu-coada.html
No idea how it's called in english, if there is an equivalent, it's used to manually cut the soil around plants, or before, to hill potatoes, etc. I hate that tool, it brings memories of backpain and blisters from when I was younger.
