Choices on row spacing.

GreenAcre · Mar 28, 2017

I have accumulated gardening equipment until I don't know how to use it all... Buddy and I do about 2 acres, eat all we can, give some away and sell the rest. Peas, okra, and squash mainly. Other things are done in syrup tubs with manure and do great. Have 2 cubs with cultivators, an H with a 3 pt. and various ford tractors. Have 2 ford ferguson cultivator setups with plenty options. Have a good 25-B planter that goes on a work bar anywhere you mount it. Just picked up a Rome two row hiller which is completely adjustable. Our garden soil is heavy so we plant on hills so it can drain (east tx). The 41 inch width of the cub rows could be tightened up for the 35lbs of purple hull peas we have to plant if we did something different. So then I'm thinking of all the options for width in cub and H... and thinking about wide hills pulled with the ford with 2 rows on top. -Or 4 little hill/rows per H and 2 for cub? I don't know anymore. Anybody have suggestions on spacing rows and cultivating with these many options? TIA.

Back years ago, when we planted a big garden, we used all 40" rows and worked it with two row workers......
