Beds or paths

I do use straight lines on the allotment, but no raised beds, and one bed runs the whole length of the plot - 60ft. Then the tunnel runs along that, and a bed towards the front of the plot for the rest of it. The paths are in an odd H shape and are very wide, but it allows lots of space for wheelbarrows etc. I tend to throw all the weeds on to the path, so they provide a mulch. That suppresses weeds.

At home I have one huge growing area which is essentially a raised bed, and two pallet collars along the other side of the path, and again in the greenhouse. That's the best setup I've ever had at home
