Polytunnel covered. Now I can't make my mind up whether to have a path straight down the middle or around the sides or something else. Any ideas what works for you?

Path straight down the middle here, with beds running the length of each side to maximise the light to the growing areas.

I'd suggest the same; best to maximize what you have.

I would do a wide bed, say 2/3 of the width down the length for crops in rows, path , and a narrow bed for things like tomatoes that only want to be one plant deep.

How wide is it?

If very wide it's worth having a narrow bed down either side with paths and then a wide bed in the middle for all the tall crops.

Its 12ft wide and 22ft long! Still undecided how best to maximise growing space. Leaning towards, straight down the middle!

iiwm, I'd have a path straight down the middle as anything else would mean you couldn't reach the plants without standing on the soil... which I try to avoid where possible --- two slabs wide and then you have space for a barrow too
