Will raised beds in full shade give any heat/climate benefit?

Respectfully, I am not clear on what you want to achieve. Raised beds require a lot of work and resources, and full shade severely limits what can be grown. Can you tell us your goal? That would really be helpful.

It's mostly been a curiosity of mine. While I have full shade growing areas, my health situation means I probably won't act on any benefit. This knowledge might help others decide if they want raised beds in full shade, or avoid that extra work in those areas.

Here is a great resource for shade-loving edibles.

Have you considered growing mushrooms?

Wow, thanks! That is the best list of shade edibles I have seen yet. The rest of the site isn't too shabby either.

It wasn't my idea to go to some crazy nightclub in the middle of nowhere. I just wanted to stay home and cuddle with this tiny ad:
