The green areas are the beds, and their dimensions are labeled. The white area with the grid is the rows between the beds...each square is a square foot so you can get an idea of my spacing. North is to the right. There's going to be a ceder decorative fence around the perimeter.

Well, actually I do have a fraction: 1/10. lol The only thing I might do differently would be to make the paths narrower, say three or even two feet wide, and make the beds 4 feet wide instead of 5, 6 1/2 or 10 feet wide. Why do I say this? Well, I can't think of anything you would need to take down a garden path that is 4 feet wide, so to me it seems like a bit of a waste of valuable arable space. The reason I say 4 foot wide beds is that at that width you can pretty much reach the middle of the bed from either side. This means that you'll have to walk on it less often, and the whole bed is easily accessible for hoeing, spreading amendments, compost, fertilizers, etc., dusting and spraying if you do that sort of thing, and not to mention harvesting. Just my 2 cents worth. :-) Good luck with however you decide to do it. Quote \| Reply \| Report
