Raised beds are important for vegetable gardening in that the fluffiness of the soil will determine how big and strong a plant can grow. Use raised beds to provide a shelter against flooding with help from an organic farmer in this free video on gardening and horticulture.

This is VERY amateurish and lacking real-life practical and accurate information.

I'm dealing with erosion on my garden mounds. Following the Eliot Coleman spacing of 12" footpaths and 30" beds. Had 4 heavy rains in a row and my gardens are on a slight slope. Will have to wait until plants are out of the beds to rake or hoe the dirt in the footpaths back in. This is the first year so I'm hoping over time, the flatter the beds get, and the more structured the soil is (thus more water-permeable), the less it will erode.
