I have worked out I can easily build another two, next to this in the back yard but of a longer length, say 4.5M long by 1.5M wide. These two will get even more winter sun. All will probably require a shade cloth covering in summer. I can build a fourth bed, 4.5M by 1.5m wide at the side of the house.

(This has been verified by various folks in more colder climates than Australia, who have shown snow to melt much quicker around raised beds than the surrounding areas) Concrete 'Besser Blocks' were chosen as they will hopefully be permanent.
