I would go for sharing. =) Fri, 16 May 2008 00:36:48 GMT http://greenthumbs.tribe.net/thread/e7444def-edaa-4af3-bbbf-0dfe7c03243a#1ff66295-d0a8-4f6a-a52c-697967be8706 LolaB 2008-05-16T00:36:48Z http://greenthumbs.tribe.net/thread/e7444def-edaa-4af3-bbbf-0dfe7c03243a#57f6dae2-917e-4d46-be92-51c39d3f1f4c So my companion plant book has very different instructions for row spacing than my seed packets. Is this just common old-school rules on the seed packets and companion planting has a different approach? Any suggestions? In particular my peas packet says 3 feet between rows, but if I'm companion planting my book says 1-2 feet. And what if I'm throwing in something like borage for ground cover - can I put that inbetween the pea rows? .... I'm not sure I'm very clear with my questions :) but I'd appreciate input. THanks!
