The two most important parts of the SqFt method are the spacing, and
the no walk beds (IMHO). I use 2' x 4' raised beds but have used 4x4,
6x3, or odd shaped beds in corners that still used the spacing. I have
even used 18"x18" squares for a while because I had a pile of stepping
stones for a walkway and they were 18x18. So it was easier to use them
for markers. Made 81 radishes in a square!
