Good luck with this-it sounds as if it makes a lot of sense.

we live on a limestone pavement so I have 2 raised beds I gets morning sun the other morning and afternoon I just use short rows as the bed is about 3' deep as far as I can reach !but close together as you don't walk on the beds you can use all the space just grow things that are nicest fresh from the garden or expensive in the shops use a large plant pot or a grow bag on its end foe a potato or 2 or courgettes as they will take up too much room I grow tumbling toms in hanging baskets and get excellent crops :D

I need to work out when to get it started, I'm guessing it's a bit late now because winter will be here soon!

Am going to do some potatoes in a dustbin, also maybe some sweet potatoes as these are expensive and they're my favourite...
