Planting distances
The rows in the garden should be spaced as close together as possible to secure high yields, and yet far enough apart to allow space for the plants to grow, and room to walk. Crops like onion, leek and root crops may be planted in double rows or in beds several rows wide to secure higher yields.
A more complete utilization of soil moisture and nutrients will be secured when plants are spaced evenly along the row rather than in hills. The minimum distance between rows is based on cultivation with hand tools, or the use of mulch. If power equipment is used, the rows must provide space for the passage of the equipment.
Planting depth and method
Many gardeners plant seeds too deep, TTiey need only be sown deep enough to obtain moisture from the soil for germination. In good loamy soil, most vegetables seeds should be covered to depth of about fives times their largest diameter. In sandy soils, plant them deeper and in clay soils, shallower. During the summer, when the soil is warm and dry, plant the seeds deeper.
