I've done something similar to that in the long aisle bed at 'Spin's house.

2ft down ya come to something we call 'the floor' which would require more ooomph than either of us or both together to get.

And so I laid a six inch deep layer of gravel and rock pieces to create a sort of 'french drain' and then add back her clay soil mixed with bags and bags and buckets of addments. The beds end up raised about 4inches above the path up the aisle.

Which is good as the path then becomes a small stream headed for the street 'cause when it does: "rain in Southern California...man it pours!!"
Here's a pic of the finished aisle bed in the Spring of '03 The dirt hardly shows now... hmmm where would that pic be?
