Is it nescessary to leave 12" between row of carrots? considering its recommended you leave 3" between carrots in a given row..is this 12" just for access to the crop? can you leave 3" or maybe 6" between rows and get the same result? |

Yes, but you also must realise that during periods without rainfall you must keep on top of your watering.
Lots of roots in a smaller area all competing for the same water reserves.
Lettuce for example will bolt and go to seed when tight planting meets dry conditions.
It's a balancing act really.
I would avoid planting things like califlower, broccoli, and tomatoes too close together though. _________________ Gardening books.
