Have you ever noticed that farmers always grow their vegetables in rows? Do you know why they do this?
Growing in rows in a a technique that has been used for a very long time. Not only can it keep your plants sorted by kind, it also provides them with space to grow and better access to water and the harvesting equipment!
On large farms, tractors must be able to pull machines through the fields to harvest the crops, the equipment is built to work with crop that areplanted in rows!
Creating raised rows, just like a raised vegetable bed prevents damage to roots. When you are harvesting your vegetables, being able to step between plants without causing damage to other plants is very important!

Row planting is when plants are grown in single rows that allow for more space and easier cultivating in the vegetable garden. Depending on how much room plants need for growing the rows can be adjusted between the plants and in each walkway alongside the row.

However, given the freedom of space, most gardeners choose rows. Wide rows and narrow rows alike allow for easier and more efficient growing and harvesting of vegetables.
Their responsibilities can vary depending on their specialty, but common duties can include: Planting, fertilizing and harvesting plants. Feeding and herding groups of animals. Providing special diets and care for animals.
Skip-row planting is a means of saving soil water for the reproductive stages of growth because the roots do not reach the soil water under the unplanted row areas until well into July.
Planting in rows can make sense on big pieces of land. But in a home vegetable garden, we're growing on a different scale. In a home veggie garden, we're limited by space. And that means growing some vegetables in blocks, instead of spread-out rows of plants.
Row spacing: how far apart the rows should be if you're planting a farm-style garden. Ignore this measurement if you're using an intensive system like square-foot gardening. Seed spacing: how far apart you should plant the seeds.
As a general rule, put tall veggies toward the back of the bed, mid-sized ones in the middle, and smaller plants in the front or as a border. Consider adding pollinator plants to attract beneficial insects that can not only help you get a better harvest, but will also prey on garden pests.
Double-row planting, as the name suggests, involves planting two rows about 8" apart. The double-row technique allows you to grow two rows in almost the same amount of space as one row would require. You can harvest either row from either side of the double-row, thus conserving space in your garden.
