Will one of these be deep enough to grow tomatoes?

I usually loosen the soil about a foot down before I set up a raised bed...so if you do that, I think these will work great for you.

I guess it would depend on your spice bottles. but I would say no, it is not deep enough.

Yes. The depth is adjustable. Just make sure your soil is well worked and loose.

glad to help- it's quite deep AND wide- being winter, they're in storage right now, but, last summer i was able to put 2 6" pots and 4 plants out of a 6-pack as well as 2 small creeping jenny's or vinca's in each one- my guess is the depth is 10" or more on the longer part and approx. 8" on the shorter part. they are made of a very durable and thick plastic- will definitely last for years- good luck with your growing and hope this helps :)

I did not use for tomatoes but I have no reason to believe you would plant any different from ground plant. I read on www to plant on side covering roots and fuzzy texture up to the first leaves covering with 2-3 inches soil and I did this in ground and was amazed leaves were directed back toward the sky almost overnight. Not sure if this would work in pots due to space but again I would plant as normal depth in ground.

Yes, I agree with the other answers. The depth is not overly deep anyway. But is perfect for my small veg garden. I do what Nancy does and just tilt the unit. If I need to deeper ... just hold it in place.

The tines are only about four inches long but if you move the already-tilled soil and till again, you can get deeper than that. However, if your veggie garden is large, you might want a bigger tiller as this one is best for small beds.

sorry, I don't have any tomato plants, but if they need lots of water at once, maybe not...this keeps the soil moist.

deep enough to get the tender plants. it is best for weeding and cultivating between the rows. I don't think it would be enough for a new planting, that would take a long time. I got it for working soil between the rows after the plants have started to grow. it would work well in a small garden for a first planting.

The holes on the bottom are 3/16 (I just measured). They look about the size of a bb. My guess is that tomato seeds would go through but it might take some rinsing.

It will provide shade but tomatoes generally like full sun, when watered properly. It will also create heat if there is no air outlet. Good luck!!

Yes, it is like 3/4" deep or so. Not good for soup but perfect for rice and veggies

You can put the smaller one on top of the larger one if you want to. The largest one you can plant tomatoes in it as well. It is deeper than it looks. When you get it filled with dirt it makes a nice planter. We put weed blocker under our dirt to keep the weeds down. They are neat above ground gardens.

It's not deep enough. I would barely fit one layer of my lasagne in it. I love these, though. I use them for leftovers.

Yes I think so, I bought them for my container gardening. I drilled a 3in round hole in the bottom of one bucket and inserted the basket, put that bucket in another that I drilled 1/4in holes on the bottom with a 1/2in hole in 3in from the bottom, I water it from the 1/2in hole on the side and it is self watering. I water less and my Peppers, Tomatoes, and other veggies have all done great.

At two feet above, the lighted area should be about 4-5 feet wide. It should be sufficient light for tomatoes. If your tomatoes are spindly, the problem could be they are too close. Do a Google search on "what makes plants spindly". There are a number of good articles. This is a good article: http://forums.organicgardening.com/topic/51820721208933787

I don't think so. I think would need more depth. I only planted flowers and some herbs last year.
