Rob, if you pile that goat litter 'in situ' where you propose your bed, it 
will all be completely digested duff by midsummer if not much sooner.  You 
can mix the soil in with it, certainly, but even better is some sand, 
limestone sand, or red clay (but not blue clay or yellow clay).

Being a broken record here, but I have to mention it every time this comes 
up:  you don't actually have to have sides a all.  I'm going to post some 
pictures of what I'm talking about.  With the good soil you are making, it 
does not erode.
