Tantrika:
I grow peppers on 12" spacing, so the leaves touch at maturity. Peppers
are laid out in a triangle, like this:
x x
x x x
This shades the soil, keeps the soil cool, slows evaporation from the
soil, and reduces the growth of weeds.
The system is bio-intensive, and based on the work of John Jeavons and
others.
I also mulch my peppers when they are older - preferably with aged,
shredded wood.
Hope this helps!
Robert.
