How far apart to plant eggplants
If you plant eggplants too close together, they will compete with each other for nutrients and moisture.
The distance between plants should be at least 40 centimeters, between rows – from 50 cm.
It is also important not to bury the root collar. Deep burying may result in the death of the seedlings.
Planting of eggplant seedlings is carried out after the end of frosts. The average daily air temperature should be at least 15 degrees.
