I am ambitious and optimistic, if nothing else! (And made of unlimited amounts of cash, it would seem.) I did my raised beds without sides the last few years, and the crab grass just took over. The few beds that had sides and thick mulch in the rows did much better. So the plan is to convert all the beds this winter... hahahaha!
