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

    The planter goes more or less north/south, so the canopy may get a little dense, but there’s also determinate and indeterminate as well. It’ll get plenty of sun, I know I’ll need to do some pruning, so there’s no reason why it can’t all produce.

    The watering isn’t something I’ve read about, there’s plenty of salsa garden planters and layout ideas out there. Now that being said, I don’t have the climate for peppers anyways, and wouldn’t the tomatoes drink enough water to keep the peppers not swamped? That’s my understanding of stuff I’ve read. It’s also more to do with standing water, this won’t have standing water.

    I’ve done this before without issue.

    Recommended is 16-30 for my varieties, it’s not too much under. And those are all guidelines anyways.
