Frequently Asked Questions
What spacing do different vegetables need?
Lettuce/Spinach: 6", Carrots/Radishes: 2-3", Peppers: 18", Tomatoes: 24-36", Cucumbers: 12", Squash: 36-48", Broccoli: 18-24", Beans: 4-6"
What's the difference between grid and offset patterns?
Grid patterns place plants in straight rows and columns. Offset patterns stagger every other row, allowing plants to fit in gaps and increasing density by about 15%.
Can I plant closer than recommended?
Plants need proper spacing for air circulation, sunlight, and nutrient access. Crowding increases disease risk and reduces yields. Follow recommended spacings for best results.
