Hi Zuf,
I have read Mel Bartholomew’s book on square foot gardening.
I’m thinking that planting as he suggests to the “thin to distance” would yield small crops and promote the spread of deseases. I may be completely wrong on this point.
Joy Larkcom recommends a different method for calculating equidistant spacing which I think may be going too far in the other direction for my circumstances.
The RHS also have their own ideas on this subject.
All I need for now is a good starting point then I will do as Charles says and let experience guide future spacings.
I’m going to go with Joy’s method reducing the result by 20%, per the RHS as a starting point and let the result dictate future spacings I use.
