So where do you walk? In the 2in slot? You should leave a path
for you and
your barrow otherwise you will compact the soil.


The fabric is 4 feet wide. Except for the corn the plants are in
the middle. Theres four feet between the rows. You just walk on the
fabric


Making paths would be better you will compact the soil under the fabric.
Tomato plants in the middle of a 4ft bed each 3 ft apart is rather generous
spacing. You can fit more in, you could (for example) zig-zag them up the
bed so they are still 3ft apart but every 2ft or so along the bed, once your
soil is getting better you can go closer still. There is no rule that says
you need neat rows.
