This is critical information for any market gardener. Spacing is perhaps the top factor for - soil moisture retention, pest and weed control, healthy bacteria dominance, yield. I can appreciate the importance of simplifying the communication of spacing to interns and employees, and even for educational purposes. Some really excellent workers can struggle with simple math, especially towards the end of a long day in the fields.

Great video explainning your system. In my experience brassicas with inflorescence harvest(cabage, brocoli, gai lon, cauliflower) do benefit alot from a greater spacing in between rows especially in tight beds such as yours. Therefore I am planting with 20'' apart and the yields is always best. The leaves eventually go over the path. But keeping it simple might be a better option espcially if you don't grow thos crops

Thanks - that looks really simple! I'm really interested in the 30" spacing concept but bit confused about things like zucchini and large brassicas - 30" beds would seem to be too generous for a single row, but two rows might be a bit tight (or would result in foliage creeping over the paths). Any thoughts on spacing for these kinds of plants?

Wouldn’t it be better to do a honeycomb grid rather than straight lines? Even if you over lap lettuce by 1 inch, you’ll save 4 inches per 30 inch bed, and will only have to lengthen it by the width of half of a lettuce, or 5 inches. If bed is 100 feet long, square foot reduces from 250 square feet to 217 square feet. While it is small, it’s about 13% reduction in space for exact same crop. Basically can add an extra row of lettuce crop simply by expanding rows to 100ft 5inches. The spacing is the same as yours, vertically they are still aligned like yours, when using a multi row seed planter one could adjust the design to compensate for stagger, or when doing your seedling strip just stagger as well. It seems once you modify the tool, the juice is worth the squeeze. Further, say you keep the rows the same width, but still use the honey comb pattern, and remove that one extra head of lettuce that would cause the row extension, so square footage is the same, plants are the same minus 1 per row, which is neglible when there are hundreds, each plant would get more sunlight. The distance to its next plant would be more evenly spaced, currently if the lettuce is turned into a square the edges are touching while the corners have too much room for growth, results in uneven growing or pockets of extra light. Honey comb prevents this from happening as you can space a circle equal distance from another one no matter what side. Can’t be don’t when placing circles like a square. If you’re curious for example, google earth weed farms, they wouldn’t do it this way if it made them less money. Maybe lettuce or smaller crop it don’t matter, but 13% more crop is 13% more crop. When you’re talking 400k like you do I’d take an extra 52k for the same space and marginal extra work. Anyways, it’s great you share what works for you, but share what you know works for others. It’s fine if it doesn’t work for you, but to not share it is not the best. We are providers of information, not recommendation. The more you share the better you help. Again, I’m not saying to switch to honey comb, I’m simply sharing by doing so you get 13% more area to add more plants or whatever you like!
