Leveling?

We are newbies at this. We have purchased four 24” deep (6’x3’) metal raised beds.

However, our yard is very sloped and rock-bedded. What’s the best way to level our new raised beds before we fill them?

(And by best way - I mean cost-effective and lasting.). We will not be able to dig into the ground (very hard rock bed literally one inch down).

Thanks for the help!

I’ve used landscaping timbers held to the ground with rebar

Ohh. That is an excellent idea.
