CROP SPACING
Different vegetable’s have individual spacing requirements which sometimes determine their final size. More often vegetable’s are grown in rows with a recommended spacing between plants, and between the rows. They may alternatively be grown in equidistant (equal distances) spacing between the plants – the average of the recommended spacing between plats & rows : so plants 15cm (6inch) apart, may alternatively , in rows 30cm (12 inch) apart, alternatively be grown 23cm (9 Inch) apart each way. This method probably gives the best results so plants have an equal share of light, air, moisture, & soil nutrients
As they mature they form a canopy over the soil which suppresses weeds.
