azur bed limitations

I was wondering if there are any limitations in the dimensions of an outdoor azur grow bed. I realize i don't want to go too deep, but as far as surface area are there any limitation. I am looking for how small is too small, if there is such a thing. Also lets just say that i were to have an unlimited amount of ground i could harvest from, how big can i go.
I am in no way suggesting that i am going to undertake such an involved grow .... Just curious.

There are no real limitations on size, although the soil/chip interface at the edges of a patch are the most productive. 2 foot wide rows of chips with soil/grassy paths between them works extremely well. You don't want to walk on the chips and its nice to have the mushrooms within arms reach.
Minimal size can be pretty small. A single woodchip can support one or two small mushrooms.

Could this be because the thickness of the wood chips is minimal here? I find that less then 2 inches of chips support the best growth. It seems that anything over 2 inches maybe suffocates the mycelium
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

Possibly, but I think its because there is something in the soil that stimulates fruiting. An overly deep substrate is bad though.
