My climate isn't anything like yours, but just going on intuition and what I've researched over the years I would say sinking the beds down might be the way to go. Maybe even digging on the spot and filling it with organic matter like a Hugelkultur mound. That would store more water and gradually decompose into wonderful compost. Good luck with whatever route you choose!

Thanks! This is our fourth year we've done online sales with shipping, though we have been propagating plants for our own food forest and going to markets with them for about 12 years. Most of our plants are from our own seeds and cuttings that we've established through the years. We're really keen on seeking out great genetics in these unique plants. Glad to see more folks getting into these fruits and nuts as well! The world really is a better place when we fill it with bounty! It sounds like you're a northeastern man yourself? Whereabouts?

Our online nursery just opened up sales for Spring 2026 shipping! https://www.folkrockfarm.com/ many different options available, including 10-packs of certain trees like Chestnuts, Hazelnuts, Persimmons, 5-pack Elderberries and many other trees and shrubs.
