seedlings in the at and of plants in the growing bed
should barely touch. Appropriately spaced plants form a
living mulch, which retards weed growth, aids in the
retention of soil moisture by shading the soil, and creates
the mini-climate under their leaves so essential to
balanced, uninterrupted growth. When spacing seeds in
ats, place the seeds far enough apart that the seedlings’
leaves will barely touch when the seedlings are
transplanting size. Try 1-inch to 2-inch spacings
depending on the size of the seedling at its transplanting
stage. In general, the plant spacings listed in the Master
Charts for vegetables, owers, and herbs are equal to the
“within the row” spacings listed on the back of seed
packets, or sometimes three-quarters of this distance.
Disregard any “between row” spacings. The Master
Charts list our best spacing determinations to date for
these plants.
