T.S&.&.&.55'0 &.&.&.v5....nnnddnnnnnnZZZZZZ Plant spacings in a Square Foot Garden Plant spacings are the distance apart you plant several of the same plant. In square foot gardens, that can be expressed as #/sqft (how many plants per square foot) or simply by inches in each direction. For instance, carrots are planted 16/sqft or 3" apart, because there are 4 3" segments in a foot (so square that, 4x4=16). The only exceptions are certain vining or very large plants that do not fit into individual square feet. Please be aware that special varieties will require different spacing than is listed here (eg. dwarf basil vs. regular). The spacings given here are for the most typical or common of the type of plant. Reader Olin Miller (millero@NETZONE.COM) offers this general rule for spacing: A rule of thumb for vegetables I learned many years ago is to space root crops at twice the expected diameter of the mature produce. Other vegetables should be spaced so the leaves from adjacent plants overlap only sightly. Closer spacing often results in smaller sized vegetables but doesn't necessarily reduce yield because of the increased quantity. And many leafy plants will rot at the base if planted too close. How to space vining vegetables depends on the variety and whether they are grown on cages, trellises, stakes or allowed to run free. In the following list, all spacings are according to Mel in SFG (chapter 18) unless otherwise indicated (Mel left a few out)! Basil: 1/sqft (according to sqft reader Kevin M. Wilson) : bush-type 9/sqft; pole-type 8/sqft Beets: 16/sqft Broccoli: 1/sqft Cabbage: 1/sqft Carrots: 16/sqft Cauliflower: 1/sqft Celery: 4/sqft (6") (according to sqft reader Doreen Howard) Chard(Swiss): 4/sqft Corn: 1/sqft (revised in to 4/sqft) Cucumbers: 2/sqft in a row of 4 sqft (6" apart along middle of sqft row) Daffodils: 36/sqft Eggplant: 1/sqft Garlic: 4/sqft (6") (according to several sqft readers. Some say 9/sqft (4")) Leeks: 9/sqft Lettuce: 4/sqft Marjoram: 4/sqft (according to sqft reader Kevin M. Wilson) Muskmelons: 1/sqft (grow in row of 4 squares, on trellis) Okra: 1-2/sqft (according to reader Sandra Walters) Onions: 16/sqft Oregano: 1/4sqft (according to sqft reader Kevin M. Wilson) Parsley: 4/sqft Peas: 8/sqft Peppers: 1/sqft Potatoes: 1/sqft Radishes: 16/sqft Savory: 1/sqft (according to sqft reader Kevin M. Wilson) Scallions: 36/sqft (2") Spinach: 9/sqft Squash, Summer: vine-type 3/4sqft; bush-type 1/3sqft (see also Zucchini's revised spacing) Squash, Winter: 1/2sqft Sweet Potatoes: 2/sqft Thyme: 4/sqft (according to sqft reader Kevin M. Wilson) Tomatoes: bush-type: 4/4sqft; vine-type 1/sqft (in row of 4 on trellis) Watermelon: bush-type 1/sqft; vine-type 1/2sqft - both kinds along trellis Zucchini: 1/sqft  Here are some visual layout grids. The "*"s are where to put the plant or seed.
