Mike,
Thanks for the overview of bed systems, that was very helpful. We have
used the 36" beds for 8 seasons with 12 inch tire tracks forming our
paths and that has worked pretty well, although walking in a cupped 12
inch path can be challenging at times.
The switch to 54" beds is aimed at not having so many tire tracks in the
field for less compaction and also for considerably more growing space.
We definitely won't be able to hop over these beds, but we don't that
much anyway now that we are growing several acres of veggies, and we'll
probably also end up walking on them some too, but as I often find
myself saying, there is no perfect system.
