How far apart should my rows be planted with a rotatiller/cultivator with 17 inch tine width?

It depends on the type of planting and weeding system you plan to use. Make the paths between the rows a good 18" wide if you plan to use the tiller to weed. I like to make wide planting beds, about 3 feet across, and plant several rows of plants within each bed. This is a more efficient use of space than single rows with paths on each side. At this width, it's easy to reach into the wide bed from each side to weed and harvest, without stepping in the bed and compacting the soil.

This is a great place to go for advice, especially if you're low on funds and you could resolve the problem before calling and paying a service call, if it's an easy fix. I'm glad you are there for me.
