Alliums and Carrots

[Divinity]

Hi

I was wondering, I I spaced out my Onions in Rows with Carrots in between, roughly 10 Per row, how much space per column would I need to leave?

IE;

Column 1 - Onions....................................

Column 2 - Carrots...................................

Column 3 - Onions....................................


I'm planting tomorrow and I dont want to underestimate the distance and cause them to choke one another, the idea I had in mind was 6 Inches.

Thank You

Are you planting into the ground or into a raised bed? If you do it in the ground you need to leave a foot between the rows for walking and hoeing. If you do it in raised beds I allow 4 inches between my onions and carrots in all directions.

I agree with Potty. Though you may get away with 8" between rows.
