Obelixx you would likely not understand it since it for for advanced planners. my threads were not asking for advice they making sure I had everything that was important covered in book. as for maps of garden plans lets see yours! it must be perfect and easy understand given you all you said in this thread! so please post it for all to see.
"making sure I had everything that was important covered in book."
There are glaring gaps in what you consider important @war garden 572 and I don't see the point of posting someone else's design from an outdated book. If you were to include that in your own book it would be plagiarism.
I don't have pictures of my veg plot but it measures 29m x 25m, has an 8m x 4m polytunnel in the middle on the west end and has raised beds 1.25m wide for soft fruits and veggies with a minimum of 1m between them plus a hen house and pen and a new mini apple orchard space which will be underplanted with wildflowers sown this spring to encourage pollinators. I also have a long dahlia bed for cut flowers and pollinators plus a bed for 2 pear trees and an apricot and another for sea buckthorn and 2 peaches and a nectarine.

actually Obelixx it would only be copyright infringement if included original graphic diagram in my book if converted to the universal system i hinted that be in my book it would not since copyright only covers the graphic not underlaying data. also since it for teaching purposes it would fall under fair use exception.
philippasmith2 it is not my plan and I am not promoting it comes from 11 book set of "the garden for all book of" series from dick raymond published between 1979-1984. I posted it because It looks nice and thought it might inspire people. As for the flaws they par for the course in most garden plan maps in books magazine and other sources. just look a monty dons and toby buckland garden plans published in "gardeners world" magazine you will see the same type flaws and lack of details in them that first diagram in this thread has. lack detail those type flaws can even be seen in the diagram for ww2 dig for victory leaflets in links below. https://archive.org/details/digforvictoryleaflets/leaflet 23/page/n1/mode/2up https://archive.org/details/digforvictoryleaflets/winter summer/page/n1/mode/2up
Yes, I did acknowledge that it wasn't your plan and I also suggested that it probably was more to give people an idea of the possibilities rather than doggedly following the plan as shown. I'm afraid I don't follow either Monty Don or Toby Buckland and I haven't read GW magazine or watched the GW programme for donkey's years. I agree that many of these are flawed/ impractical. Location, space and time are important factors which are not often taken sufficiently into account. We can all sit down and prepare an ideal "plan" but most are just that - ideal. I don't know about the US but times have changed here and so have growing habits and regimes. Dig for Victory is long gone tho given what's happening in the world today, it may yet return Like many on this forum, I have been growing my own veg/fruit for a long time but because I have moved house so many times. my planning alters frequently according to where I am.
philippasmith2 i most problems people have in their vegetable gardens are a direct result of poor planning or being too ambitious with what they can do in the garden with the amount time they have.
