What spacing do you all allow between each plant in all directions ?

I usually attempt to keep a two foot (60 centimetres ) space in all directions between each plant.

Around 2 feet.you could go a little closer than that If you are growing single stem plants.

During the last few years, I dug along the roots to get an idea of the distance. I gave up at 2m (about 7 feet)
Could we get a bigger roots system and so a bigger fruit by increasing the spacing or it doesnt matter ?

I've room but there're 2 options :
In one limited patch, Planting more to multiply the chance or planting less for a bigger spacing. That's the question LOL

I say plant less so you can care for them more.
