I have done 1 plant per sq ft. for years and they seem to produce fine. I
tend to follow the Sq ft. method as taught by Mel Bartholomew of the old PBS
series. He's also written a couple of books.

>> My problem is: where the @$%* am I going to put all of these plants?!?
I've been successful with the following:
Raised beds, 48" Plastic mulch, twin rows 12" apart, plants staggered 12" in
rows, rows 18"-24"apart, drip tape under the plastic 4" to 6" deep between
the rows. Works for Jalapeno, Anaheim, Bell, Cayenne, etc.
