This increases the competition between the plants...And results in lack of water and nutrients in the soil..☺️☺️

Plants require space to spread their roots and stems. Sunlight can filter down to the lower leaves, moisture can reach the soil, and plants receive more nutrition when they aren't overcrowded. Plants exhibit noticeable symptoms when grown too closely together. Proper plant spacing is usually detailed on plant labels or seed packets, or you can estimate spacing by determining the mature spread of a plant and spacing them at this distance.
Weak flowering and fruiting occur because of a lack of sunlight, moisture, air circulation and nutrients in a crowded garden bed. Plants expend energy reaching for sunlight instead of using it to produce flower buds. If a crowded plant does flower, the blooms may be small or sparse. A plant flowering poorly because of overcrowding may still exhibit healthy foliage. Perennial plants that require periodic dividing, such as spring and summer bulbs, flower poorly because the crowded bulbs or roots aren't able to extract sufficient soil nutrients for bloom production.
A crowded garden bed often dries out quickly because too many plants are striving to absorb the necessary moisture from the soil. The bed requires more frequent watering to maintain moisture levels. It's also difficult to soak the soil since the plants cover it densely. Water applied from overhead, from irrigation or rain, soaks the foliage but may not reach the ground beneath. The wet foliage paired with drought-stressed roots make the plants more prone to disease.
