Shallot Spacing

Google is my friend

I made myself a shallot spacer from a bit of timber. I actually wrote "shallot spacer" on it. It made me very happy    It is seven inches long and I always use it

It's probably a generous spacing but I like a bit of room round them to make weeding easier

that sound like a good idea a shallot spacer compostqeen and yes it would make hoeing and weeding better I'm going to make one after Christmas good advise  ;


PS we set our shallots about a foot apart between the  rows 

Talking about spacing, I have a long handled trowel. The blade is 6" long and I've cut notches on the handle at 12", 18" & 24". Measurements in between are easily gauged, so it's dig - measure with one implement.
