Re: SqFt Planting Spaces

I'm new to square ft gardening. Perhaps someone can help me with this:

Does it help to tilt raised beds so as to increase the angle of incidence
with the sun? I'm thinking of about 14 inches on the north side of the beds,
with about 8 inches on the south side. (Most of my beds will have to run
E-W). My instinct tells me that I should be able to bring the season forward
here (West Cornwall, UK) by a week or so, by tilting the beds in this way.
Has anyone tried this?

I've no experience with this but was thinking a reflector behind (and
possibly in front of )
the bed(s) might work better. Seems like watering would be an issue with a
serious tilt on your
beds.
