No, You need at least a 10 gallon one. 7 gallon is better for green peppers.

I would say yes but you would need to get something bigger as they get older ad grow. If your looking for something you can use for a long time I would go bigger.

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 think that would work as long as the plant that your growing is not real heave (I.E. tomatoes).

No Absolutley not, I bought 4 and plan to use them to plant tomatos. and 1 to wash my dogs in. : ) I love mine!

This would be fine for shallow rooted plants, flowers, herbs etc. Vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers tend to have longer root systems and would not be viable in the bottom tier, which is the larger of the two growing areas and has about half the depth.

2 if they are medium to small sized plants otherwise 1 large plant. I have two medium sized pepper plants in mine, could possibly fit a third if I keep em trimmed. I had a tomatoe plant in there previously and for that I could only fit one plant in there comfortably. It's about six ft tall n maybe 3 wide

I haven't used mine for tomatoes, however I have mint, 2 basil plants, 2 types of thyme, rosemary, sage, parsley and cilantro in one container. The other one has lots of kale and butter lettuce. As you long as you stake them properly, I'd guess 10 -12 nice size plants. Love these containers.

You can easily fit 5 large tomato sauce cans on the bottom shelf it is that wide. I love mine. For spices it would be worth while for you.

I'd say the quality of mine was really good, maybe 2 bigger plants but not too big . I can fit about eight 6 "pots with small coleus plants because they don't bush too much but not a lot. If you have the space, I'd recommend a bit of a bigger size. After the first few weeks, you'll want a bigger one probably lol!

Hi, Murphy: Yes, I would say you definitely could do that, providing it didn't weigh a "ton". It is such a nice holder for plants and if you were careful what you put into it I am pretty sure it would work out fine for you providing it wasn't a huge plant. Good luck!

it is smallish (Chis size), but big enough for a 4-inch plant. probably even a six inch plant.it will not hold a pot. Youwould have to plant the plants inside the watering can.

Yes, it would work. It seems to hold water well without leakage. The only thing to keep an eye out for world be if you overfilled it or if it was unlevel. There are openings to fill the water reservoir on both sides of the base which could leak while filling if you use a water hose/spray nozzle with too much pressure. Overall I am very happy with the product and have grown multiple tomato plants over 8 feet tall.

mmmmmm. not sure I know specifically about tomato plants, but my guess would be that it would work well. Sorry I cannot help more

Yes! It even has adjustments to spray wider or narrower! I don't like to overhead water my tomatoes due to disease problems with overhead watering. I just adjust the little thing for that when I'm watering other things close by.

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.

No! It is made very poorly. I wouldn't even be able to put soil in it. I think potted plants are going to be put in this :(
