Note: To determine spacing for interplanting, add the inches for the two crops to be planted together, and divide the sum by 2.
For example, if radishes are planted next to beans, add 2 inches + 4 inches = 6 inches, then divide 6 inches by 2 inches = 3 inches.
The radishes should be planted 3 inches from the beans.
