As a reminder, I completely covered the whole plot with membrane and then as I was ready to fill each bed I cut it out and stapled the overlap to the inside of the bed. This has created a barrier against the wood, which I hope will go some way to preserving it, and means that I don't have to worry about making the ground even because the membrane creates an extra side to the bed. I was also able to fit the cardboard right up under the sides of the bed. Again, I'm hoping this will help to suppress the weeds that will try to make their way through. I have ended up with a good layer of cardboard and about 8" of soil so this should suppress a lot of the weeds as well.

The bed immediately in front of the shed, (that is perpendicular to the rest of the beds) is the one that I'm not sure of yet. The space in front of the shed is quite big and I don't want to waste the space but I'm not sure that putting a bed there is the best option. I would like to have a fire pit and seating area so this is potentially where it could go. Having said that it's a waste of growing space and perhaps it would make more sense to have the bed or maybe a fruit tree. I'd be happy to hear any thoughts you might have about this space.
