I like planting in terms of triangular or staggered spacings. I find that foliage creates a living mulch when planted intensively. Even with a large space, I'll always find something else to grow, even though I'm intensively filling my beds. Or all leave some empty spaces between triangles for a crop succession. I appreciate your informative vids...and I like the name Oscar too :) Happy gardening from Canada

I love your triangle planting but in my usual fashion I just fling a few seeds around and if there are too many I pull them out when small and allow the rest to grow. For the first time ever I grew carrots using a raised bed and the fling them about method. I built a fourth raised bed and my tiny garden looks more like yours every day. The grass is now down to about two foot square. Love your videos as always and your t-shirts. 😘

Just a suggestion. Use a measuring tape strung lengthwise on your bed or raised bed to space your seeds or sprouts and then move the tape one planting space horizontally and then offset the spacing one half the distance between the first row as shown below. x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x Advantages include easy setup by marking planting distances on end boards, straight, parallel rows lengthwise, exact distances lengthwise marked by tape, no need for using triangles, picking up a few extra spaces over square foot spacing. I use the method in my garden here in one of Mexico's typically small yards. !Saludos! ) p.s. Very informative video!

I think it may be an soil type difference Patrick. Our soil is heavily mulched but tends toward the acidic when all these rains wash it out. For example, I saw your dill, and compared. In some place our dill is 5 ft and about 2 in diameter. It runs out of control here as does the comfrey and celery and oh my goodness the rhubarb. Odd things really make it. The comfrey just one plant, from tiny .25 inch cuttings grew into these monster plants that keep adding stalks . Its just overwhelming plant... will have to do like you suggest, keep cutting it to the ground every few days. Yes, every few days. It grows back that fast. Wish the chards would look like yours, they stay small and very contained here. :( Will have to apply some lime or figure out what is missing because sometimes before the rabbits get them they get sizable. Kale too...red Russian one not the Blue Curley or Dinosaur almost becomes invasive and spreads huge. Oh well, Thanks for responding.

I love the triangle method, absolutely genius! Patrick, a question: do you ever plant in clumps? For example, beetroots grow clumps of 3 plants with 6 inches between clumps, onions clumps of 10 every foot etc etc. You twist out the biggest plants from the clump and the other plants in the cluster continue to mature. We've done it this year with beetroots and onions and it has more than doubled the yield for our beds, even more so for beetroots, compared to SFG spacings.

Yeah you can fit more carrots in 3" apart with triangles, but each carrot gets fewer square inches of sunlight. It's always tempting to grow closer and closer but work goes up and yield per plant falls. If you aren't trying to make due on an urban lot wider spacing is usually better.

A template for planting seeds would be good in this case. Since I have enough compost to cover all my beds with sifted compost this year, The seeds will stay about where I drop them. (The multitude of little stones in glacial till makes small seed positioning difficult) This year I'll try a template and reduce the need for thinning.

Hi Jotham! A template could be helpful. I don't try to be super-precise about plant spacing. I just try to get close. If I over-plant things like carrots, beets, radishes, and greens, I thin them by harvesting early rather than removing seedlings.

Harvesting early was how my mother and I always did it in bishop's falls. I find it doesn't work on this property, so I guess, while the soil looks great, the garden still needs some serious amending.

Thanks, Alice! I also plant one indeterminate tomato per square foot, but I only plant them along the north side of a bed and plant shorter plants in front of them.

Seed packet spacing is not based on considerations like disease resistance and ease of manual access, so much as it is based on mechanized agriculture, using tractors and other equipment, and allowing for commercial harvesting. For intensive gardening techniques, one can, in fact, plant most seeds MUCH closer together.

Hey Patrick, while watching another helpful video I was searching for your comfrey plants. We are in crisis here, comfrey is overwhelming the garden. Added it to raised beds, big mistake..Russian one is eating up the bed and causing mildew issues in everything around it. Early in the season when it was excessively hot, it was great for shading young plants but then it got greedy. I know it can be chopped to the ground, and Paul loves using the leaves for fertilizer, and cleaning stuff outside including muddy hands, but how do you deal with its invasive property, if in fact it invades in your soil type. Our plants burst to 4 ft heights, both the official one and the Russian one and really spread out laterally, literally within days. Its a great plant but needs care in placement for sure. Any tips?

Sorry to hear that Suzanne. I cut mine to the ground on a regular basis. They never get more than a foot or 2 tall and I never have a problem with them crowding out other plants. I grow them in beds with crops as well. When you say "spread out", do you mean a single plant gets wider or you have new plants coming up? If it's just one plant, I'd cut it to the ground.
