Re: Dividers

I use "templates" made from old corrugated box material. They measure 2
ft. by 4 ft. I have a "set" of them on which I have laid out the various
plant spacings. I have punched small holes at the plant locations. I have
written on each, the plants to which they apply.

A template is placed in the corner of a square and an ice pick or large
nail inserted through one hole at a time to mark the location. If more
than 2 squares are to be planted, a line is drawn along the edge of the
template to aid in relocation. This leaves small, but visible, marks at
each plant location, when the template is removed. I then poke my finger
in each of these marks to make them more visible. The templates have
lasted for 4 seasons.
