Greetings,

In past years, I had limited space to work with and I planted my tomatoes in
one foot spacings.  They did just fine and I had less weeds and they shaded
each other from the powerful sun we had in southwest Colorado.

The funny thing about it was I used a raised bed technique on my garden and
didn't even know what I was using :)
