>>2167123If you're looking for the cheapest raised bed in todays inflated hell-scape, you can't beat concrete blocks. You need to be relatively able-bodied, as its a lot of work, but its very rewarding in the end. To get 32 inches, you'd have to make it 4 blocks high. Not sure if you'd have yo do anything to secure the blocks more at that height, but 2 high seems fine with no support.
>>2167113>>2167115You can bury the stem a bit with cucurbits and they'll be fine. I know the soil always looks chunkier on top of the soil, but that looks like it has way too much bark or whatever is in it. I'd start your seeds in a mix of sifted soil, peat moss, and a bit of perlite.
