Default Raised beds


I've just invested in 12 scaffolding planks to start dragging some order
into my vegetable garden. I was going to lay them and cut another to
make the top ends and whack a piece of wood into each corner and screw
the planks to them. However a carpenter said I might just as well nail
the scaffolding planks to each other. Is this okay?

How level do I need t make the long sides and what do I put down between
the rows to make it as easy as possible to trundle up and down between
the beds?

I am hoping to dollop a load of compost onto each bed which well mean I
don't have to dig very deep
