I found this when rooting about the ether, as you do when you have spare time on your hands.
Its a spacing guide to alliums and is good for both traditional rows or bed systems.
Onions
in rows 25cm (10in) apart. For medium-sized onions, space the sets 10cm (4in) apart in the row; a wider spacing of 15cm (6in) will give larger bulbs.
On a ‘bed system’, space onions 15cm (6in) apart each way.
Shallots
in rows 25cm (10in) apart, with 15cm (6in) between bulbs.
On a ‘bed system’, plant them 18cm (7in) apart each way.
Garlic
in rows 30cm (12in) apart, with 13-15cm (5-6in) between cloves.
On a ‘bed system’ plant them 18cm (7in) apart each way.
You can obviously jiggle the distances a bit to suit your growing space and conditions.
