Hello!
I have been Aerogardening for over a year. Started with a used 7 pod and asked for a Bounty for the holidays so I could try peppers and tomatoes. My Sweet Husband lost his mind and got me the Farm XL plus. Going to plant the jumbo veggies (tomato and two peppers) but I am unsure the best way to space them in the 12 hole layout.
Help a noob out?

Hello and welcome. Congratulations on your Farm.
As for spacing, while it is possible to plant all the pods, I highly suggest you do not. I would not plant more then 4 plants total in each side. Even that will be a tight squeeze. Plants need room to breath and get air circulation.
I have three peppers in each side and I find that to be ideal .. for me. That is just my suggestion. You can take a look through our Members Gardens to see who has a farm, and what they plants and see how full they got to get an idea. Of course if you were to plant lettuce,herbs or other plants that would change. You can fill up almost all spaces when doing herbs and lettuce. 
I hope this helps some.

I did 4 green peppers on one side, it really should have been 3 to be ideal spacing. the 4 plants are doing good but could use a bit more spacing.

Can you try to rearrange what holes they are in? I have had to do that a few times.

I wouldn't try more than 3 pepper plants on a Farm. I am currently growing four Sweet Heat plants, but as short as they are they are already very crowded. And they are just forming buds now. I've grown four Heirloom tomatoes successfully, but that too was very crowded. Three is a good number for the farm.

What did you grow in the remaining spaces or did you leave them empty? I wouldn't try more than 3 pepper plants on a Farm.

Most of the time I'd leave them empty.
