Mar 13, 2012 at 19:33 comment added bstpierre For what it's worth, I have usually planted my tomatoes somewhat closely -- 18-24" apart in the ground because of lack of space. Last year the garden expanded and I planted a batch that ended up being more like 3-4' apart, and the spaced-out plants outperformed the close ones by a wide margin. Overall yield might have been a wash (fewer plants), but the extra spacing (good air circulation) kept down disease a bit, so I think wide spacing is a winner.

However, they were root bound come winter. I'm really just hoping for similar results with these tomatoes.
