Hi - I have a question about the square foot gardening system and plant layout. I have container beds that are 4'x4' and 4'x8' and have been thinking about using the Square Foot Gardening/Mel Bartholomew suggested plant layouts even though I didn't use his recommended soil mix of compost/vermiculite/peat moss. Does it matter? For example, what would the drawbacks be of planting 9 bush beans in a 1'x1' square rather than spacing them out in a row?

Thanks!
