Each to their own method of cultivation. I have no earthworms in my plot because of the newzealand flatworm so I have to dig to incorporate muck and to airate the soil.

I can't read a lot of the writing on your beds but think you have a rotation going which is very similar to mine. One comment I would make though is that 2' paths are very narrow, I have some that width and struggle to kneel down on that side of the bed, especially when the plants get big.

yeah the writing was just a guide. i plan to just mound the soil up and not use boards. yeah i may go to 30" between beds and use the paths as an extension of the beds

Looks similar to mine, however, I'm always this organised at this time of year. By the end of the summer the only things planted in the planned places will be the raspberry canes and strawberry patches.....cos they are always there!
