A friend of mine has his own cement mixer (they can be rented or even bought

have the frame work built. He has some lumber in his garage and builds a
two sided frame around his raised garden borders, and pours cement inside
the two sided frame.

This would be a great way to do it. I don't believe we can
manage the work or expense, but I wish we could.

Doesn't fresh concrete leach a great deal of lime or something similar
for the first year or two? If so you'd need to check and probably modify
the Ph levels.
