Plants over 120cm mature height belong on the polar side of a bed.
Well established · costly if ignored → warn
How it works
Solar geometry. Shadow falls outside the bed rather than across shorter neighbours.
What to do about it
Move tall species to the polar edge; sort by descending height equatorward.
The evidence
Evidence: settled without a trial - solar geometry.
Change history
Every change to this rule is one commit. This is what the project's version history records — the date and the reason — not a summary of it.
- corpus: another rule here shadow shelter - a part-sun heat bolter in a taller neighbour's computed shadow is sheltered; another rule here stops counting it a victim (O133 step 11)
