Three things that I got out of reading the SFG book in the eighties.
1- they don鈥檛 have to be raised bed, but plots shouldn鈥檛 be more than 4 feet wide so you can reach in to weed and tend plants without compacting the soil.
2- rows in gardening was to get your tractor into the fields, I don鈥檛 have a tractor, why waste the space. If plant need to be 3鈥 apart that鈥檚 16 per foot.
3- I never read about the physical dividers for square feet. But garden twine would work if desired, but cost less.
I did see at Lee valley a 1 foot square with colour coded holes in it to divide into the planting pattern for proper spacing.
