Think thin in gardening says ISU extension expert
Gardeners should thin seedlings to one plant every few inches to ensure healthy vegetables later. Gary Kling of Iowa State University Extension notes thick sowing leads to crowded, scrawny crops. Thin carrots, beets, lettuce and onions to improve light air and water access. Visit Washington County Extension Office for more guidance.
