When sowing seeds in V-shaped drills, there are three main options, depending on the seed and its size:

• Continuous line: Usual way to sow small seeds, such as those of carrots, lettuces, onions, radishes, spinach and turnips. For information about thinning the seedlings, see opposite page.

• Singly spaced: Space individual seeds at intervals along the drill. Used for broad (fava) beans, French beans and runner beans. Garden peas are also treated this way when grown in V-shaped drills.

• In clusters: Sow seeds in clusters (usually formed of three seeds) along the drill. Later, thin the seedlings to just one in each position.
