Soil The Ideal Soil Type: Loam. The type of soil that gardens and gardeners love is loamy soil. It contains a balance of all three soil materials— silt, sand and clay—plus humus. It has a higher pH and calcium levels because of its previous organic matter content. Most vegetables do best in moist, well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter, such as compost.

Spacing Allow 10 to 12 inches on all sides between head lettuces. Corn does best in blocks for pollination purposes and should be planted about 12 inches apart in raised bed blocks or rows. Tomato plants require 12 inches of space on all sides, while peppers, potatoes and cabbages need roughly 15 to 18 inches of space. In most cases it is a good idea to leave at least 18 to 36 inches of space between each row of plants. Large garden plants, such as cucumbers, melons and pumpkins, have sprawling growth habits that grow best with rows spaced 60 to 72 inches apart.
