Subject: [CH] Optimal Planting distance?

I saw a study from a university in Texas where they grew orange and Red
Savina habs at various spacings. I tried the URL, but the page has either
moved or been deleted. Yields at 12" & 24" were comparable, but dipped at
18". Figure that one out. Some commercial growers go all the way down to 9"
depending on the variety. I would say a good spacing for most peppers, be
they bell or chile would be around 18" to 24", if your cramped for space try
12".
