8 to 12 inches
I'm queen of my own compost heap and I'm getting used to the smell.

I sow mine straight in the ground and thin to about 2 inches apart.
As the great Percy Thrower used to say
" OI THINK THE ANSWER LIES IN THE SOIL"

You sure you mean 2" apart?  Even my miserable Parsnips grow fatter than that!

Thats about the spacing i used for my toilet roll started nips, my direct sowen ones i'm going to do what another plot holder dose,and not thin just take the nips as and when required thru the year but treat the smaller ones as carrots, bye autum you will have the spacings you require. Apparently they taste quite sweet when they are small, i shell let you know.
