Square vs. Triangular Spacing

Square Spacing: The most common method. Plants are arranged in a grid, with rows and columns aligned perfectly. It's easier to set up and provides clear paths for weeding.

Triangular Spacing: Also known as staggered or hexagonal spacing. By offsetting every other row, you fit more plants into the same space while maintaining the same distance between every plant.

Triangular spacing typically yields 10-15% more plants covering the ground more effectively, which forms a "living mulch" to shade out weeds.
