We’re building out beds for our first-year vegetable garden, and I’m curious what your thoughts are on ideal bed length. I’m worried the wood we have might be a little short for our 16×40 garden space. I’d love to have plenty of room to move around easily, while still using the space to its full capacity. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Do the whole perimeter. make the middle boxes 5-6ft wide, have atleast 32″ of space to walk
Personally, I care more about how wide they are. I don’t want anything that’s so wide I can’t comfortably reach into the middle and weed it. The length is as long as I can make it based on the ground. That’ll likely mean adding in supports mid way, but that’s not a problem.
There is no need for segmented beds. Being able to reach the middle easieris much more important.
