Frequently Asked Questions
How far apart should vegetable rows be?
It depends on the crop: small crops (lettuce, carrots) need 18" between rows, medium (peppers, beans) need 24-36", and large (tomatoes, squash) need 36-72". Leave enough space for walking.
Can rows be closer together in raised beds?
Yes, raised beds allow intensive spacing since you do not walk between plants. You can typically reduce row spacing by 25-50% compared to traditional row gardens.
