Re: SQFT dill spacing

>What would be your suggestion for spacing for dill and how much (ie.

Close together, 16 per sqft at least, if you need the tender green foliage.
The harvest time is short (before they start blooming), so sow in succession.
About half of a sqft will do for a family. Let some plants bloom for all the
insects and your eye; then, they need a wider spacing, say 4 per sqft (after
you have harvested and thinned out the young plants).
