About this 3D model

With the biointensive method of gardening, vegetables are planted in an equal-spaced hexagonal or triangular pattern, instead of in straight rows. I made this planter to assist in planting seeds that should be 6 inches apart with the biointensive method. I used the planting spacer for soybeans this spring. Place the planting spacer on your garden bed, drop one seed in each of the holes, and then move the spacer so that the two leftmost holes align with the two rightmost seeds that you just placed. Put two new seeds in the rightmost holes and repeat as necessary. The spacer can be scaled to accommodate different spacings, such as 2", 3" or 4" spacings.
