Bed size?

This is a question I’ve been asking myself for sometime and still not come up with an answer yet.
Just watched a bit of the first video. Straddling would only work when the bed is empty or full low growing crops. You couldn’t straddle the bed to weed it with a crop of sprouts. You’d damage your sprouts   .

I’ll be watching this closely for the answer to the correct bed size.

I don't think there is a 'correct' bed size although the 4 foot/1metre seems to be the norm.

Age plays a big part in it for me as I ain't getting any younger so I have to try and make it easier, and aesthetically pleasing if possible. The straddling is just another option and narrow beds can be worked from the side if you want to hang on to your sprouts.

You would also need to take into account things like raspberries ,climbing beans etc casting shadows on such a close/narrow bedding system? Not insurmountable though with permanent bean and raspberry beds sited on edge beds which don't overshadow.
