The general group consensus it that you are far better of with :
Pencil
Paper

Use those A4 quadrille ruled pads available from all the stationers.
They
help you to draw more or less to scale.

I made a drawing on paper and then used thin tracing paper over the
top to plan various designs............

An excellent procedure.
However, since you have a computer, why don't you use a simple drawing prog
to help you? Erasing and copying is a doddle. All the components of my
garden are on my computer, and I simply edit the drawings as the population
changes. It also makes it unnecessary to stick gaily coloured (or other)
labels into the beds for the birds to disturb. ( At least thst is my line
in theory).
