Impressive!. Good job.
If you had asked ahead of your efforts i would have suggested 3 beds 4 ft apart using
the same lumber, same soil amount. 2 1/2 - 3 ft wide. Half the height. Tomatoes in the
deeper end and herbs/salad and other crops that don't need deep soil planted at the
less deep forward area.
My raised beds are narrow to allow easy access and never do i need to step into the
beds, (compacts the soil)...i do keep mine covered all winter months and double dig, no
till, early spring, working front to back...where i step is ahead of me. Working back.
I divide my beds with same boards into half or thirds. One early crop comes out and
replaced with another summer heat loving crop, without disturbing the neighboring
crop.
I have heavy clay soil so dense i could make and turn pots and bowls and drinking cups.
