Haha, yeah, those inserts… In my backyard experience with corn I ended up needing about 2 feet between plants. They get big and can easily have a 10-12" radius of leaves. Maybe thats what they truly mean by 8-12"? It’s okay and you have the right idea to try it and adjust each year.
So I have 18 seedlings right now and was going to get another six, so I could have 12 in each mini-plot. Do you think it would be better to move the first plot around a bit and have two sets of 3x3?

Have fun!

I might be confused as to what you mean, but you could do one plot with larger spacing and see how it compares to the one you pictured maybe?
