That's crazy! I just grow things like a monkey.
Put seed in dirt. Water. Hope it grows.
My method has been quite successful.

Yeah I thought I'd try something different and do 2 4'x4' raised beds this year since I never did any before. Things grow freaking nuts there and at least I bought my cedar boards before lumber went through the roof. Real nice not having to worry about many weeds at all in those, and a lot less bending. Expensive initial investment, but will be a good 10+ years before I need to replace the boards. Plus my carpenter bees can make a nest in the cedar beds rather than keep destroying my shed, which would be a win win.

That's an awesome way to use the raised beds for more than one purpose. Way to go!

I love arugula, just I have always grown it in a 6 inch trough of potting soil with some osmocote before so it never gets above 12 inches tall. Apparently a raised bed full of a mix of top soil, compost, vermiculite, various plant matter, etc. that opens to fertile soil below makes it go freaking nuts.
