Ann, I have over 60 in several places on my small lot about 3' apart. They get crammed but so far so good, and they take up maybe 20% of the free space on the lot. All white tops have yielded white pineapple and yellows yellow. This summer most had been in the ground two years and it was 1 or more per day for about 6 weeks. I've stopped planting any more whites because they tend to all come at once while the yellows are ready at various times throughout the year.
As far as planting, I just pick out 1 small rock where I want to plant, put in a bit of soil, and put the top in a couple inches. They seem to thrive even in an almost zero soil situation. I mulch too.
