How Far apart is it possible to plant vegetables in a raised garden?

While there are many advantages to block planting, it is important to remember that the benefits are not limited to a square foot of space. Block planting is not only beneficial for one square foot of space, but many plants need more than that. It is recommended that plants be spaced at least two feet apart to ensure optimal growth and air circulation. Some plants are better suited to square foot gardening than others, though. For instance, you should avoid using square foot gardening for perennials, as they need more space. If you're planning to plant perennials in your garden, you need to be sure to plan ahead for the space.

Block planting has another advantage: it can make use of wasted space. Block planting can be a great way of maximising space in small gardens. Block planting works with bricks, concrete, and wooden blocks. Block planting requires very little effort and is easier to maintain. Block planting can also help to prevent weeds taking over.

A balanced planting requires good intermingling. Intermingling plants may create complex combinations with fine-textured and detailed foliage. Monocultural planting, on the other hand, is relatively simple to plan and maintain. Intermingling can also lead to an undifferentiated look with one dominant species. If you don't plan accordingly, your plants will look out of balance. You want to avoid unexpected surprises so make sure you have a large variety.
