I find this method works.
Sow seeds in week 13 (APRIL4Th) in module trays but thickly. Grow on for 6 weeks then prick out into a deep(6″) compost filled box outside, 1″ apart, in rows 4″ apart.Make the holes with a pencil.
Water regularly and feed once or twice with compost ‘tea’ .In late June/early July, after broad beans or early spuds, apply 1″ compost, water heavily and plant out (as ‘pencils’) into holes made with 4 prong digging fork, using every other hole. Water again. Rows 1 fork width apart (9″).
