I think the key to a good sourdough starter is patience and consistency. I've been feeding mine twice daily for about three weeks now and it's finally getting that nice tangy aroma. The hydration ratio matters more than I initially thought — I'm using 100% hydration with a mix of bread flour and whole wheat. The whole wheat gives it more fermentation activity but you have to watch it closely or it peaks too fast. I'd recommend starting with just white flour until you get the rhythm down. Once the starter is established you can experiment with different flour blends. The temperature of your kitchen also plays a big role. Mine sits around 72 degrees which seems to be the sweet spot. If your kitchen is cooler it might take longer to develop. The discard can be used for pancakes or crackers which is a nice bonus.

Regarding the raised bed dimensions, I think 4x8 feet is the most practical size for beginners. You can reach the center from either side without stepping into the bed. The depth should be at least 12 inches for most vegetables but 18 inches is better if you're growing root crops like carrots or potatoes. I used untreated cedar for mine and it's held up well for three seasons. The key is to drill drainage holes in the bottom if you're placing it on a hard surface. On soil you don't need a bottom at all. I filled mine with a mix of topsoil compost and vermiculite. The composting ratio is important — too much nitrogen and you'll get lots of leaves but not much fruit. I started with tomatoes peppers and basil and everything did well. The basil actually repelled some pests naturally which was a nice surprise.
