 At any rate, when I laid out the two boxes that I've planted so far I used
 nails and plain twine to make a grid.  Since our boxes are 4'x12', I found
 it really useful in keeping track of where I was direct seeding (something
 I didn't do such a good job of last year and had resulting problems when it
 came around to figuring out what to weed).  Have others found this sort of
 thing useful?  Since this is a school garden that I'm working in, labeling
 for people to look at the garden is a goal.  Does anyone have a creative,
 more permanent, but still changeable/portable way of marking their garden
 squares?  TIA

If you are using lumber as edging you can notch the tops at 1' invervals and
use lattice/lathes to mark out the area needed....drill holes in the lattices
at 1' increments for pegs/ties and connect them as needed, that way you can
mark every 1' or 2' ,3', etc.  You can also connect them together for the
longer  dimensions of your bed.  I suggest painting them a nice bright white
or yellow( you can also tie tags to the lattices to help ID whats in each
square.   
Hope this isn't too confusing(I don't always explain too well)  ô]~
