Jeremy, I followed Larry's method this past fall as well. I spaced mine 12" apart vs his 11 but that was only because I used the weed barrier cloth that had lines 12" apart running down it. My RB are 4'*12' (2 of these), 4'*8' so a total of 4'*32'.
I only recycled my beds twice vs Larry's 5 times (I think he had 5 harvests)

I always started in deep cells and transplanted later as Larry did. I did this to save on watering. I watered from above too.

I fertilized my bed with a combination of Plant Tone and Tomato Tone.

The only thing different I did than Larry was initially as I picked a head, I replaced the plant with a seedling. Later on, I stopped doing this as it was hard b/c pulling it through the weed barrier.

Also, later on I fertilized a few times with Neptune's Harvest Blend via the hose/sprayer.

We both had lots of 2nd/3rd heads that the plants produced at the end of the season.

Larry knows his stuff. I had 100 original heads and a significant # of 2nd/3rd heads.
