Hi,

My present plot is 6'x12'. The 6' side is up against a fence, and the
12' side is up against the house. Yup, I'm walking through the
garden to tend to the veggies. Not good.

I'm planning on installing some raised beds next year.

I'm planning two beds:
1) 2'x12', up against the house
2) 3'x12', set 1' away from the other bed.

This way I can access the 2' bed, from one side, and the 3' bed from
both sides.

However, this leaves a 1' path between in which to walk?

Does this 1' seem wide enough? Should I narrow my 3' bed to 2' and
spend the remaining foot widening the path?

Any guidance appreciated.

It's wide enough
for your arse to pass
but too narrow for a barrow.

If you want to stick to 1' paths to maximise bed space run them the other
way. Two paths and three beds across will make more of the beds closer to
where you can get the barrow at the end of the bed. Otherwise make the path
nearer 2'

As others have said be very wary of piling dirt against any structure.
