Marty last year we spaced our tomato's at 12" apart which I felt was too
close. Used the Florida weave and used black plastic mulch for ground
cover. I had fertilized the area very heavy in the previous fall so the
humus in the soil was extremely rich. The yield when the season was
over averaged 19# per plant. There were 30 different variety's in this row
so knowing which one did what I didn't keep track of. We have gone from
doing 10 acres of gardens to one acre, our net income has increased two
fold. We have gone to doing hard to grow thing like spinach to containers
and get results almost all summer because we can move thing around to cooler
spots when it really get hot here in the great plains. The wonder of shade
tree's.
