Which way should veg rows run?
« on: April 12, 2012, 13:32 »
I have read several articles that seem to contradict each other in terms of which way veg rows should run on a lottie. I have two half plots, both of which face SW, but more like SSW. Which ways should the rows run please?  ???
I have my own cement mixer and not afraid to use it!!

the reason people don't agree, I think - is cos it really doesn't matter ;)

It's often asked on here, but without agreement  :lol:

To be honest, I don't think it's really critical on an allotment.

On our site some gardeners who's plots are north/south plant their rows from East to West.  On the other part of the site where the plots run east/west the gardeners plant their rows north to south.  They all grow good veg.

The most important thing is good light conditions, so don't plant tall things on the south side of short things or the short ones will be growing in the shade.

And I agree as well, for what it's worth.

I'd sooner do 32' rows than 96' ones!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
