Should I put an empty bootstrap column to make space between the columns

Question

I have a row with two columns in bootstrap. How to create space between columns. - My first col is 8, but I want to make it 7 and have 1 column as just space.

Here is my bootply: http://www.bootply.com/mwGajBOEVe

Here is my HTML.

<div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-8"> <p>The apple tree (Malus domestica) is a deciduous tree in the rose family best known for its sweet, pomaceous fruit, the apple.</p> </div> <div class="col-md-4""> The orange (specifically, the sweet orange) is the fruit of the citrus species Citrus × sinensis in the family Rutaceae.</div> </div> </div> 

Answer 1

No, use offsets like this

 <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-4">.col-md-4</div> <div class="col-md-4 col-md-offset-4">.col-md-4 .col-md-offset-4</div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-3 col-md-offset-3">.col-md-3 .col-md-offset-3</div> <div class="col-md-3 col-md-offset-3">.col-md-3 .col-md-offset-3</div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3">.col-md-6 .col-md-offset-3</div> </div>
