If it costs $200 to have a 200' X 200' garden plowed up (can't do with tiller due to health issues) is it worth it?? We have tried planting tomatoes in the special garden containers but not much luck.

I am trying to buy only American made for 30 days - try it -amazing!!
I have 2 raised beds, made from landscape timbers. They cost about $2. each ;used 18 total for 1 bed. Filled it with a mix if compost, black dirt, leaves. keep adding veggie scraps to it. No tilling , no bending. not much weeding. I can pack alot of plants in them.
