I am not sure why the weeds would be less, perhaps because access to
removing them is easier so you do it more often and with less effort.. Many
gardeners do find that raised beds are very advantageous especially for high
value produce like vegetables or flowers. What do mean by "log roll"?

I prefer raised beds, as you say easier access and i think slugs etc
find it
more difficult to get to the plants...
