When it comes to planting with purpose, consistency is your steadfast ally. Consistently spacing your planting stations helps to optimize sunlight exposure, nutrient uptake, and water distribution, creating a thriving environment for your seeds to flourish.

Digging Depth and Specifications

• Row length: 16 m will host 28 planting stations—which means, dear farmers, you are gearing up to dig 1456 stations per plot. Each station shall cradle 3 seeds, making your richness multiply in the most spectacular fashion.

Tips for Consistent Spacing

1. Methodical Digging: Bring your measuring tape and keep a keen eye on your distances. Start at one end of the row and dig the first hole, then step back 60 cm for the next station. This steadfast rhythm ensures every hole is alike, a symphony of order waiting for growth.

2. Check the Slope: Ensure rows traverse across the slope, embracing the contours of the land itself. This careful positioning will enhance water flow, ensuring that each planting station is baptized in the nourishing rain.
