Does anyone use this for tomatoes? (or is it just for other uses?) can I string support lines inside, or is it to small?

It works fine for tomatoes... but the price range is more for other types of plants that you can actually profit off of.

It would be great for plantings. A lots of them. It's really not suitable for grown plants. That's what I do but I have a big garden.

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.

Sure, if you are growing seedlings. Otherwise, get something more powerful if you want big tomatoes.

Sorry, I can't help. When i received mine I found it was too small to work with the tomatoes and onions I use, so I gave it to someone.

Hi, As far as I know you can use them with container tomatoes as well as garden. If you fear they are too strong just use less of them. The most important thing to do is keep them well watered and shake them to help them pollinate as they are a self pollinating plant as well as feeding them.

The screen that comes with the Roma is for TOMATOES - that was its initial design - and THE USE OF THIS DEVICE FOR TOMATOES IS MENTIONED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE REVIEWS. The additional strainers are for smaller seeds and salsa.

I had the opposite problem, the holes were so small that I could hardly get the new plants in it. It didn't work well for strawberries or tomatoes. I would not purchase this again.

Aren't smart pots fabric? This is a metal pole frame with a heavy plastic liner with drains. I got one 2 years ago and was totally impressed. Holds about 4 bags of dirt, fits against the fence if you need to tie up anything. Not portable unless you empty it and 'rebuild' it somewhere else. I did not use it for tomatoes, but I've been growing those in pots no deeper than this for years. Have fun!

NOT recommended. This unit is meant for grass and such thinner bladed plants. It does not cut heavier branch types. You could trim off tomato leaves but not the large branches for which pruning shears would work much better. I would be afraid that attempting to cut woody branches might spring the blades and ruin the tool. My neighbor and I have both used my new unit to trim around flower beds, etc., cutting lighter grasses and weeds and consider it most useful and real back-saver. We keep the blades cleaned and hinge oiled with WD 40 after each use so it will be ready for next summer.

We have a short line to cespool on a very small tank and it keeps roots out good.We have to flush 2 times so on a long line you would have to put directly in tank or flsh more so it gets to tank and and does not stay in line.My 2 cents but ask Roebic lab there take.Fred.

Definitely too small for regular size tomatoes. Possibly okay for cherry or grape tomatoes but I would not recommend. Better use is herbs

Since others have answered on quantity, I will just point out that if you want to puree tomatoes, this is not the best machine for that. It turns pieces of tomato into blah pink foam.

You need potting mix or coco coir. Not potting soil. With that being said, I would not recommend this for any heavy plants;Tomatoes or such. Too cheaply made to handle heavy fruits or vegetables. Hope this helps

I put a 44lb bag on a 4'x12' raised bed for tomatoes. They turned out great. It just adds back minerals. I used a fish kelp fertilizer also. You might want to check the PH of the soil after adding.

The line your looking at will work just fine as long as your not planning on moving it around and changing the fittings. It is a very stiff hose, if you plan on changing things from time to time I would say to go with a more flexable general purpose hose. That is what I use now because I work with hydroponics and change things often.

Not satisfactorily. I just tried one and it didn't cut the tomato skin so it resulted in a smushed tomato with little strips from the wires. The skin seems to be the problem. I cut a tomato in half and tried cutting through the portion without the skin but the wires hung up on the skin again - So.... I will say that it is not satisfactory for cutting tomatoes.

Yes,This willWork great to help grow tomatoes, just use according to the directions on back as often as every other weeks and you'll have big, healthy plants

Yes I have and EVEN though I LOVE my Squeezo I will not use it agian for Salsa. We like our salsa chunkier and with less seeds. The largest screen lets seeds though (has to with the larger holes) but presses the tomato into too fine of a pulp for our tastes.
