I have just received my Zebrune banana shallot seeds but I cannot find anywhere that tells me how far they should be spaced. Can anyone help please?

Three time I have looked at the Marshalls site. Its been a long week

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

Compostqueen How far apart are your rows?

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

A foot between the rows or if equidistant spacing in a bed about 8ins either way works.

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.
