David, <br /> <br /> I'm new around here, but may bring some new ideas from the landscaping world, to help all of you save your backs and pockets. If your just putting the boards on the ground, or even recessing them, why not use some Garden spikes. The spikes are 1/2" X 10", and can be bought almost anywhere. Just drill a 1/2" hole (maybe 9/16"), every 1-2' and drive them in with a hammer. They will stop "SLIDING"; however may not stop tilting of the boards. That would require a tamped "base", with almost any technique. The other thing is try the plastic board products out there. There's no poisons, and will last forever. Try epsplasticlumber.com; they're offereing black 2x4" material for $1.50/ ft. Just a thought.; hope it helps.
