    Can anyone tell me how they would arrange/plant these on a 5m long bed of 1.2m width? They grow very large and I am not sure whether to do a single row down the middle or two staggered rows? What would be the most efficient and easy maintenance?

    I have some similar size beds and PSB & kale have done well planted on either edge of the bed not even staggered.

    My beds are 2.8m across and I generally plant 4 across. In old money one at either end with 3ft between plants. However; some caulis and cabbages don`t need as much space whereas purple sprouting in particular can turn into a bit of a beast, so I tend to separate it from the rest.
