The benefits Dividing your growing area into separate beds is the simplest way to organize crop rotation on the ground (see pages 32–5). It makes the routine of tending the whole plot more manageable than when crops are arranged in long rows right across the allotment. The beds are attractive, which is also psychologically satisfying because they are easy to maintain and keep tidy. They also maximize yields because plants can be grown at closer spacings than when access is needed between rows. They are particularly appropriate for organic and biodynamic gardeners, since cultivation concentrates on maintaining very high levels of organic material and fertility in the soil.
