raised bed? SQFT?

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I'm probably the least one to call what I do sqft gardening. I call mine 
'island beds'. With 135 acres, no way is it possible for me to island plant 
all the property. But with the pastures a part of where I garden, a lot of 
field problems creep in that most suburban dwellers don't have. (constant 
mulching to keep mystery weeds at bay, finding ways to get around a water 
deficit, etc.)
It's easier for me to rogue out a raised bed here and there than 
contemplate an endless row of hoeing. And, I find that planting in shady 
areas will keep my plants producing somewhat longer in the summer. So, with 
SQFT, I'm usually trying to get something to grow to shade something else. 
If I crowd beds with wanted plants, then the unwanted stuff has less of a 
chance. Besides, the more islands I put in, the less yard to mow!
