If you have stoney soil which is not the best of friends with parsnips when growing them but would still like to grow some,then what you do is make holes with a small bar about 60-90cm deep [2-3ft] when the soil is fit to do so and spacing each hole 30 cm apart.Fill these holes with moist wriddled compost and firm it.Sow 3 or 4 seeds at each area and cover them with .5 of an inch of wriddled soil.If you sow them to deep they will more than likely not grow.When they show a little then thin to 1 good strong seedling at each sowing area.
