The plant to plant spacings in the link Knucklehead posted work well. The row to row spacings are very tight if your soil is fertile at all, I would think an extra foot between rows wouldn't hurt. If you're growing Shiraz, 4' row to row and 2' plant to plant will leave lots of room.
So the Shiraz needs a lot more room than other Orientals?

Your color code is a great idea. Did You put the types on paper as well? I am glad I did. I had to refer to it yesterday for a plant that needed help. I havent put the velcro markers on yet. WWAAA. Thank God for paper. I can't wait for this Guy to fix My pc problem so I can go back and place all of the pics where they belong for My grow. You have an awsome plot there Boboro.

Yea, it's grown more like a Virginia. Fertilized and topped, 2' spacing. It didn't get as big as Southern Beauty, but it's not a small plant. I let mine go until the bottom 3-4 leaves yellowed, about 110 days. The leaves get real thick and puckery, stalk harvest. Istanbulin said that they wilt them in the field, but I sunburned some leaves that way. I still haven't figured out how to keep some of the brighter color in the leaf. Even my darker leaves smoke well, so perfection can come later.
