Generally, I would agree with you, but in this case, we are talking 
about a spiral that would be maybe 15 feet in diameter.  There's not 
going to be a need for a 2 wheeled cart at the center of the spiral. 
Each bed would only be about a foot wide, just enough to zigzag some 
strawberry plants.  What would I need a two wheeled cart for?  What am I 
missing here?
My regular garden raised beds are separated by 36"to 40" paths.  I did 
have 10 feet, but never used it so I added beds in that space.  I have a 
large 2 wheeled wheelbarrow that is 35 inches wide, narrower axle width, 
and it fits just fine through those paths.
