We are in our first year at Blue Moon Farm and have started out with raised
beds that are 50' long and range from 42-48" wide. Most of our paths
are 18"-24" wide and mulched with straw. Other main thoroughfares are 4'
wide to accomodate our large cart. Our beds our mounded, not hard-sided
because of lack of time and money although I think it would be nice in
the future to build wooden sides for the beds over time. Weeds on
the sides of our beds have been a real headache but we are going to try
a flame-weeder to keep them under control and have thought about growing
some wooly thyme on the sides of the bed for weed and erosion control.
We like the 50' length. They are too wide to jump over and 100' is
too long to walk around.
