Spacings
« on: May 14, 2011, 13:04 »
Hello all

Ive noticed that nearly all the folk on my plot apart from the newbies ( me included ) seem to really jam their plants in close and much closer than what ive read you should do in my books

is this just experiance or am i missing something? or are there things you can do this with?

for instance ive got 8 sprouts in once 2 meter long bed and ive seeen one plot with double this in same space

thanks guys

Way too close, mine go in 30" apart.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

the spacings recommended on packets of seeds are there for a reason, stick to them for highest yeild, any closer/more densly and yeild will be less and the risk of disease etc will be higher (is what i was advised when i started)

Always thankful for advice!
