What is the distance between the bushes of peppers when planting
Correct planting of garden crops ensures a good harvest. When planting peppers, it is necessary to delimit the space between the beds. Let's look at how to calculate the distance between the peppers when planting.

Benefits of growing according to the scheme
The conventional planting scheme for garden crops helps to save space and allow their rhizome to grow quickly. The scheme is used for plants that are immediately planted in open ground.
If the seedlings are planted in a greenhouse and only then transplanted into a vegetable garden, it is necessary to correctly position the seedlings under cover and on an open plot of land. To calculate the size of the holes, use a ruler (measuring the required depth).
Why do you need a landing pattern
It is advisable to use the scheme if garden crops are planted at different times. It is necessary to take into account what kind of care the pepper needs, and what kind - the neighboring bushes. A properly sized space will provide fresh air and protect the bushes from diseases of other plants.
The advantages of the scheme:
- saving space in an open area;
- good harvest: stems and foliage develop correctly;
- rapid growth of seedlings;
- vegetables rot less (especially those that are located in the root part of the plant);
- ease of care;
- correct coverage of culture.
The planting scheme is used for the greenhouse and open ground. This is a certain distance necessary for the growth of the rhizome: if the lack of free space for the bushes is corrected by cutting off excess lashes, it will not be possible to correct the lack of nutrients from the soil after the growth of seedlings.
The planting scheme allows you to calculate the amount of fertilizer that will be needed in the future. For each bush, planted according to the scheme, you need at least 2 kg of fertilizer per month. Watering work can be carried out as needed, each bush is clearly visible: you can see how dry the soil is.
Additional terms
If the bushes are tall, more space is needed between them.
If the area chosen for the vegetable is in the shade, the peppers will need more free space. It is important how the vegetables are located: if the vegetable also appears on the lower stems, the distance between the beds is made larger. They take into account the quality of fertilizers that are applied before the end of summer: if they are covered with a thick layer, the distance from planting to planting increases. The scheme is a conditional border of pepper bushes: it is increased for the selected seedling variety.
Planting pepper in open ground
Peppers should be planted in May or June. The timing of disembarkation depends on the temperature regime: the earth must warm up. Before planting in an open area, the soil is well fertilized, mineral fertilizers and humus are applied. Small holes are made in the soil, located at an equal distance from each other. Optimal seating chart:
- the depth of the hole is at least 15-20 cm;
- the distance between the holes is not less than 30-40 cm;
- the distance between the beds is not less than 70-80 cm.
Seedlings are planted carefully so as not to damage the root system. Immediately after planting, the seedlings are watered abundantly: the next watering is carried out a week later.
If you arrange the bushes correctly, you can not be afraid of white root rot or fungal diseases that arise due to overcrowding of garden crops.
Distance between seedlings
When planting, one must not forget about the distance.
When planting seedlings, it is necessary to count the distance (radius of free space) between future bushes. There should be at least 40 cm between the seedlings. Tall bushes quickly start growing, they need space to start up thick lashes: periodically these lashes are pruned, and the bush is formed around one stem.
Seedlings are planted in a hole along one row. It is better to make an orderly bed with the same soil composition and illumination. For undersized seedlings with bushes that do not grow higher than 60 cm, a distance of 50 cm is calculated. On such bushes, vegetables also appear on the side lashes, so they cannot be cut.
Distance between beds
You need to plant a crop in open ground in beds: this is the simplest system. The longer the bed, the easier it is to keep track of the growth of each bush. Dense plantations are difficult to control and, if necessary, remove a diseased plant (in the case of fungal diseases, fungal spores quickly spread from a sick plant to a healthy plant). If you plant peppers in beds with a distance of 70 cm between them, then you will be able to:
- fertilize the soil correctly - then you do not have to injure neighboring crops in order to fertilize the soil under the plants;
- watering on time - due to the condition of the soil, additional watering is carried out if the summer is too hot;
- harvest on time.
Planting beds with a distance of 70 cm is convenient and profitable. If the lighting and moisture of the soil is uneven, vegetables ripen at different times. As a result, the harvest is carried out at regular intervals. With this distance, it is easier to care for the lashes and tie them up if the bushes are growing rapidly.
A small distance from one bed to another makes it difficult to pick vegetables that are ripe or burst (from excess moisture).
Distance between bushes
Consider the distance between the pepper bushes when planting. When planting seedlings, take into account how quickly the lashes start to grow. If seedlings of late varieties are planted, the distance between the bushes is reduced.
With tied peppers, which partially grow on a support, you can save space in the garden. Thanks to the garter, additional lighting of the bush is not needed. When planting seedlings, it is calculated at what distance the irrigation system is located: this is an important factor that determines the growth of the bush. If watering is done by hand, it is better to extend the distance between the bushes to 50 cm.
Conclusion
The planting scheme helps to calculate the distance between the seedlings and the beds, ensuring the crop grows quickly and correctly.
The distance from one plant to the second should be at least 40 cm. For tall bushes, it is increased to 50 cm. The distance from bed to bed is 70 cm, this is the optimal distance to fertilize and water the soil under the plants.
