RAised beds have pros and cons. The ones on our allotment are partly raised, but we're now removing most of the planking and settling for a gentle curve on the surface rather than a right angle edge.
This is partly because the wood is rotted that held up the edges and it would be too expensive to replace, and partly because the planks make a great hiding place for slugs.
We use a plank to spread weight when walking over the surface of the beds.
