4/ To build a giant raised garden bed, first shave the lawn as close as possible to the ground and lay down cardboard (make sure there is no tape/plastic) or layers of newspaper. Then start piling the greens and browns on top stomping down as you go to make it compact.

The pile should be over 2 1/2ft / 76cm tall at least. It is going to shrink down significantly.
