Basic planting question
Posted: Thu Apr 30, 2015 9:30 am
If there were no barriers to doing so, and you could orient your rows for planting in any direction is there a desirable orientation with regards to the sun and shading of the rows for higher weed control potential?
It seems to me that if the rows are running east and west you would get more sunlight between the rows with less shading from your sunflowers for example. I'm not a farmer and just do a little of this as a hobby and have no idea if it really matters or not?
Curiosity of mine mainly. Thanks.
