It will be one of those "trial by error" adventures.

I think the raised garden is the way to go. That's my plan for next year once my inlaws get the loader and dump truck running. As long as you don't do the raised garden near any trees you should be fine. Trees have a tendency to grow their roots right up into raises gardens for some reason?
Good luck with your project and hope to see some photos of your progress.
