22 Tomato and 11 pepper plants, spacings a little tighter than it should be on some of the tomatoes, but it should be okay.

Did you miss that part of their source that agrees with me…? Dude couldn’t even read his own sources before pasting them.
It specifies pruning changes those numbers, I’ve mentioned every comment I am pruning. And that same “paper” (not an actually scientific paper)even says 12” is fine for some tomato’s… so yeah, he’s wrong and I’m right going by those specifics.
It also says it’s a complicated interaction and not simple, that’s what I said.
Their sources literally prove their claims wrong, not right. Lol.
I even provided the quoted portion in my comment where the “paper” (not a paper like I asked for) said that.
