raised bed spacing

Apr 14, 2004 2 Replies

I'm putting in a couple of rasied beds for the first time, and I know that you can plant closer than you would in a traditional garden, but how much closer? I'm putting in tomatoes (roma and cherry), banana peppers, basil, parsley, and wax beans. Thanks.


For the ultimate use of space, look up 'square foot gardening'. There's lots of sites if you do a search or check out the library for Mel Bartholomew.

For tomatos and peppers a foot apart, the beans can probably go 2-3" apart.

Get the Sqaure Foot Gardening book, it's GREAT!
