Instead, try as Jim Campell suggested: triangulation.
This method forgets about row spacing, and instead concentrates on the
space between individual plants. Like this:

I space my peppers 12" apart - shorter ones in front (closer to South),

Works great, shades out the weeds, keeps the soil moist.
No pests, lots and lots of peppers!!
