Try and position the plots in a sunny place preferably to get the morning sun. I decided on twelve plots one and a half metres square with walkways of 400 millimetres around each plot.
These walkways give ready access to all sides of every plot enabling easy planting, sowing and harvesting. Therefore no digging required.
Three of these plots I kept permanent, one for herbs and rhubarb, one for runner beans and one for asparagus.
Because of available space you will need to modify the number of plots to suit your area. A smaller sized family could easily do with half the number of plots so long as there was a continuity of planting as soon as one plot became vacant.
If you are a real enthusiast then set up a planning white-board in your workshop with a diagram of each numbered plot and plan your planting schedule using a water-soluble felt-tipped pen.
