Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

>I am planning to build raised beds for my garden next year. My future garden space has a cement area on the high ground and some old cement bases from a few old posts in the low grass area. The ground drops about 2 feet in the 30 feet length. I can build the beds on top of the cement. Leveling the ground is the problem.

>3, build the bed to be level with the high end and increase the raised bed height as it goes down the slope.

I suggest #3. 2 ft in 30? Hmmm.
That's 1 ft in 15 or 8" (thjnk, "2x8") in 10 ft.
I know 3, 10 ft beds can be a pain in some ways,
But a diagonally cut 2x8 of 10 ft, makes the 2 lowest side pieces.
Each bed now has a level top/soil. You'd need 3, total.
Then make it the height you need by adding 2x8's or 2x etc.
Have *slightly* sandier media on the bottom for improved drainage???

Just thoughts...
