My brother had a gravelly back yard (previous owner's extra parking spot actually). Since he didn't want a raised garden, the only realy option was to dig it out. Since we were both poor at the time, that meant spades and picks and a few weekends before we dumped a couple truckloads of nice black dirt in.
The problem (other then working our hands raw and our backs to spasms) was drainage. Almosted ended up with a muddy pool after he watered his first rows of seeds. The eventual solution was sod.
In our case, it wasn't worth the effort. Somehow, and I don't know how, make sure the garden can drain as needed.
