Haha and well;
I do, sort of, still use raised beds.
-
At me tender age I had to change methods somewhat.
What ya see in tha pic (2003) is ground tilled till fluffy. Seed is broad cast, beans & peas in this case. I lightly till them in and use a drag plate to cover.
Furrows or trenchs, give it tha raised bed effect. Makes for ground watering also.

If you pull dirt from furrow to furrow level, plant, pull more dirt, rake through and pack down ya have more of a true raised bed; wide row!
Lol, I like ta say, been thar, & shonuf done that.
Its me po ole body & mama nature that makes me look for alternate ways, fer similar results ye see!
