Hi Steve,
I have had some success in a small garden. I would grow two, plant one
at
each end and grow towards one another with the main trained to opposite
corners. As your main grows let the secondaries get progressively
smaller
until about 25 ft, where your secondaries will be tweo feet in length.
Other factors come into play, your soil and climate. It works for me but
may
not work for other growers. I have just expanded my patch and plant size
will be approx 500 sq ft this year. Its very hard to explain but once I
have
terminated all growth my plant looks like a right angled triangle. If
you
have any questions feel free to ask.
