Divide and Conquer

Following on from a good friend's post on getting more from raised beds, I have decided to break our huge beds up a bit. The six beds we had were two of three year rotation. Since I made one into a permanent fruit bed, it's messed up the original set up. So the two middle beds of 9' x 13' are getting a makeover. We have started with one bed becoming a 9' x 6'6", the remainder will be divided by a diagonal path, leaving two triangles. These should be easier to stretch over, rather than balancing on a scaffold board; this becomes Bed number 5 split. The same will happen to Bed number 2 and a different split, but divided nonetheless to Bed number 4.
Keeping up? No, neither am I, so it's a good job I have a planning tool...
