That's awesome! Your soil (although 1,000~ miles away) looks to be very similar to mine. I think I'm going to do something very similar to you.
A row about 20~ feet long, 3-4 feet wide, and 2.5 feet deep. I'm gonna fill it with a lot of Cow Manure Compost and the rest Organic Peat Humus, and about 1/3 or so of native soil, for reasons mentioned in this thread.
