Any indoor raised bed diy guides?

I would like to do organic no till indoor. The space is 12x12. If anybody with experience could point me in the right direction that'll be nice. Questions that I have are;

What liner do I use for the raised bed?
How should I frame it?
If I water slowly and keep an eye on that moisture levels do I really need to add aeration towards the bottom?(Similar to SOMA style raised beds where they put porous rocks on the bottom, below some chicken wire & landscape fabric)

Have you considered using tubs for more of a SIP approach than true beds? Seems like you could end up with some more flexible/mobile. I've ran them last couple times and loving their low maintenance and that if I need to, I can move them around. Could even put them on dollies, etc. If I hadn't found these SIP(s) I was looking at 4x4 bed. Now I use 4 rubber maid brute totes with the rez & the bed being nested perfectly and that footprint fills the 4x4 space perfectly for me.

You can buy fabric pots for raised notill beds. They work great (I use 2 4x4 fabric beds). You want aeration throughout the soil but you don't have to have a ton of rocks near the bottom of the beds. The rocks help you avoid too much water sitting near the bottom of your bed. Personally, I have a 4x4 flood table under my fabric beds that is filled with grostones. So in the end I do have the rocks at the bottom (just under the fabric pots all together).

The fabric bed kits come with PVC to frame it out.
