Official Inmate Gardener Thread

I'm starting our first garden in the next few days. Is it necessary to create raised rows to plant the vegetable seeds or starts or can you do it on level ground? Is t just a matter of presonal preference?

It somewhat depends on how much room you have. Rows help with weed control and walking around. If you don't have much room then raised boxes are great.
