Increase Density on the South Bed

Southern beds are not shaded by any other crops. They receive more light than the rest of the tunnel.

To profit from this, you should increase density by 30%. Thus, increasing yields. This means, instead of planting tomatoes 18 inches apart, plant them 14 inches apart.

Don’t forget to adjust irrigation and fertilization. Put 5 drip tapes instead of 4, and multiply your fertilizer by 1.3.

Using this calculator, take the “Leader per square foot - South Bed” number in the calculation.
