Every vegetable needs a different amount of space to grow successfully and healthily. In this short, I show you how correct spacing improves plant health and cropping over time.
From wide gaps for courgettes and sweet potatoes (70cm), to tighter spacing for salad leaves (22cm), each plant thrives best when given the room it needs. I also share tips on multisowing—where several plants grow in one spot, so spacing changes for that.
We’ve even removed lower leaves from the courgette to make better use of the soil, allowing light and air in while roots thrive beneath.
These spacing principles help your plants stay healthier for longer and make more efficient use of your garden space.
