Mine are leggy so i always plant them deep. They don't necessarily grow root hairs like
a tomato but will root from leaf nodes like peppers. (i think)
I plant mine in the middle of my trellised tomatoes but let them go wild. They grow
frilly and a bit unruly and ripen late in September in my climate. Most tomatoes are
slowing down when my tomatillos fill out. In a Southern climate i would give them lots
of room somewhere else. If a stem hits the ground they will root another plant.
Layering. Mine usually find the trellis and go up and high, then fill out. 3 or four plants
give me plenty for a winters worth of smoked tomatillo salsa.
