Actually, John Jeavons recommends having the leaves of your plants - all
plants - touch at maturity.
This helps to keep the soil moist, and holds down weeds - creating, as
he calls it, your own micro-climate.
The only problem I've ever had with this approach is that it creates
TONS of diseases on my tomatoes. So now, I plant them three- four feet
apart. Much better!
It just goes to show - all gardening/farming is experimentation.
