How many tomato plants should you plant in this?

I put 3 in the planter, one over each hole that goes through the cover, you will see when you get one

Last summer I planted one tomato plant and the results were so great that I bought a second barrel. This summer, encouraged by some of the answers here, I put two plants in each barrel. While the plants seem healthy, they are shorter than last year and have less fruit. It's only mid-July now and maybe they'll come around, but their growth has slowed considerably, barely reaching the 2nd ring. There are only three holes that allow the roots to access the water reservoir, so obviously one plant is going to "win" the battle for resources. Next year I'll go back to one per barrel.

I had four tomatoes and six pepper plants and it lasted me a year plus using every two to three weeks

Depends on how large your containers are. Easily holds two 5gal circular Home Depot buckets. I wouldn't put in a third tho (because I scrog). Also ran three 10 liter buckets no problem. If you grow SOG and in square containers you could fit at least 6, but I wouldnt. Stick with 2 - 3 plants and you'll be good.

I have a 10X20 raised bed tomato and cucumber garden and I run two emitter lines lengthwise equally spaced from the sides. That waters the tomatoes perfectly and then I run a spot emitter to each of the two cucumber hills as they really need a little extra soaking. I run the system twice a day for 45 minutes each time on a timer (shut off on rainy days) and the garden is perfectly watered.

Absolutely. I started over 1,500 tomato pepper and eggplant seeds in my basement using a light and grow set ups until they were ready for sale and planting outdoors. you need to watch the seedlings carefully because the seedlings will get leggy if plants are exposed to too much light. They can be started in 72 cube strays (3 trays to a typical light set up) and need to be properly watered and fed with a diluted liquid seed starter (b-1) for food ( use an eyedrop) . They need to be rotated and be subject to the lightness and darkness of a typical day as if they were outside. As they grow they can be transplanted into a bigger cardboard like containers that you can find at Big Lots or Ocean State Job Lots. Eventually all you have to do is put these into the ground when it is thier time for planting. Hope this helps.

yes, should hold about 4 of them. it would be great for tomatoes... deep enough for a 5ft plant.

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

It's not too small, but you'll want to build a small frame inside to support the tomatoes once their *on* the support lines. I personally think this tent can hold up to 3 tom plants or a single 2 year old tom plant.

I used approximately 8 bags. It worked well. Now the bed is full of healthy plants.

a very small area. those small plants need to be about 18-24 inches apart and they don't cover much area. we got 60 of the small ones and after seeing them decided to get larger plants that we could plant every 3 feet apart.

Depends on the full grown size, of course, but I'd say 3, because I have 3 medium sized geraniums in each of my two planters.

I planted them closer together than they needed to be, I think. I covered about 60 square feet. I think 60 plants would cover 100 square feet eaasily

It won't be too much. Use 2 dropper-fulls. This quantity in a 1 gal can will keep all your house plants healthy.

The recommended quantity of tomato plants is 2. I have 2 planted in a box and they are huge. I can't imagine the jungle I would have with more than just a couple. For corn, you are absolutely right. The recommended amount for corn is 16 so it can handle a lot.

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 fit 6 actual pots, but it is a tight fit. Once they start growing it is too crowded, I have 4 shortys and it is a tight fit. I would recommend 2 or 3.
