this looks great. I have raised beds on my allotment, but this is quite different. I like the idea of having these quite small, separated boxes. Looks productive!

We've learned that raised beds present certain problems for certain crops depending on local conditions.

In winter, raised beds are great because there's more surface area to absorb sunlight, keeping roots warm.

In the summer, raised beds will dehydrate rapidly due to evaporation.

The boxes solve all these problems, with the included benefit of no wandering taproots.

The biggest thing I could say is do your homework with respect to complimentary species, and pay attention to mono-crops. Some plants do not play well with others (strawberries, pumpkins, etc)
