Hi there
I was just sitting in front of a notepad that I jot down things while doing research for things connected to SS, cheese making (I have a great book, called "praktyczne serowarstwo" which translates to "practical cheese making" I have it in Pdf in polish, but I can send it, if you want. Maybe you can translate it somehow. it is 3.3mb in file size and 400+ pages, a lot of reading, good reading too) and other topics. ANYWAY I was looking at the checked page of the notepad and I was thinking, whether any of you have ready "patterns" so to speak for your square foot raised beds, that you just rotate every year for a different bed, or is more of a happy creation, planning as you go? I was thinking.. that if you had such pre planned patterns, one would be able to get quite consistent yields every year, since the planting patterns wouldn't change just the place it is planted. Making such pre planned patterns has a lot of advantages, for one you could incorporate companion planting, check out beneficial neighbours, make plans for rotation so that same plants are not planted in one spot year after year. Generally it would make the planning easier
