Frillylily said:When I made a very large bed in my side lot, I sprayed it with round up. Then I laid my stone. Then I covered the whole thing with a thick layer of straw. Then I planted my flowers. (daylilies and iris mostly). I did not have to add any soil because what was there was pretty good and dayliles and iris don't need amazing dirt anyway, just pretty good was enough. This worked great for me.

I need this to be a raised bed because this area gets very soppy in the spring.
