Suggestions for sloped backyard terracing vegetable garden (2013, home)

[gmanar]

Hi All,

We recently bought a home (still under construction). It will be complete early 2013. I am very keen on having a vegetable garden in the backyard. But much of it is at a very high slope. See attached picture below.

I am thinking about making 2 step terraces - each of about 15-18" high. I am planning on using the stone from lowes.

I would like to hear some good ways of putting this together (without spending a ton of money).
Anything would help - ideas, links, examples, reading material, personal experiences etc... (I am already doing lot of reading on google)

Eventually my idea is to utilize the area for some kind of SFG (square foot garden).


Thanks in advance.
