That's how I started in the main garden. I called them raised rows. Yesterday I dug down farther in the really bad spot. Maybe 2 1/2 to 3 feet down and I broke through some thick clay and could almost watch the water drain. I then amended it with composted leaves and top soil. All of the other spots dried out decently. That was about a day and half after a heavy rain. I think it will do ok plus I plan on mounding in the area. A few feet away from there I found a really big rock I couldn't get out. It was a foot under the soil line and a couple feet wide and who knows how deep. I think that is some of the drainage problem in that area.
