Gridder Spool Spacing
Even and straight plantings are more productive and easier to cultivate.
The gridder creates straight, evenly spaced plantings on a 30" bed. Each spool is related to the number of rows you intend to plant. The spool will divide the bed evenly by that number of rows. Two row spool - 30” bed /2 rows = 15”. A 2 row spool marks rows 15” apart in the bed. Obviously in-row spacing and row spacing are identical for even plantings.
3 rows on a 30" bed (30/3=10") Rows are spaced 10" apart.
4 rows on a 30" bed (30/4=7.5") Rows are 7.5" apart
