Default raised bed on patio brick

height is proportional to WHAT is being planted. a foot of soil is
fine for lettuce, 18" for tomatoes.

==============

Now you are just being an intentional pain-in-the-ass. What is the
difference between your comment above and my comments which
you disparage:
Have beds taller than normal. Look at suggestions for pot
sizes for potted gardening. Some plants raised in pots
have 18" or more of potting soil in which to grow.

Consider possible "raised beds within raised beds." The ends
of your beds could be taller than the rest. Or you could have
open-bottomed, soil-filled containers in the middle of your beds.
That way a bed could support both shallow rooted and deeper
rooted plants.

Can you read and comprehend?
