Can you plant rows of three of tomatos in that? ((a beginners question))

Maybe 3 cherry or grape tomato plants. Depends on how dense you normally plant your plants. I think 2 is good, then i plant some garlic around the corners to use the extra space.

I wouldn't plant more than 3 and three would be pushing it. The more you have in it the more often you will have to fertilize & water them. If you plant large tomato plants like Big Boy, then I would definitely stick with just 2 plants. The more you put in, the less nutrients they will have and the more root bound they will become.

Yes it would work but you would need to change the water often than if you had three plants. 3 plants with the correct nutrients will yield alot of cherry tomatoes.

Yes. The pot it comes in is small. You would need to put it in a bigger pot or in the ground right away. I planted mine, it's doing fine.

I don't think I'll do what you want it to. I use mine to start seedlings (peppers, lettuce, zucchini) and keep the light about a foot or two above lants. From that distance it only throws enough light to fill the area for about a 2' in diameter. You MIGHT be able to grow one or two pepper plants but not tomatoes (my opinion). You'll be better suited with something like 4' t-5 lighting fixture. I use the t-5 fixture to help a miniature orange tree (about the same size as a full grown tomato plant) during the short days of our northern winters

Do not plant tomatoes in this. It would be better for herbs. We planted Cilantro. I am afraid anything that is going to stand much over 6 inches would have a difficult time. A tomato would be a disaster.

Yes you can,it should come with planting instructions.If not start with a small pot(1 gallon) and light soil,move it to the next size up when you see roots coming to the top.Don't overwater.Have plenty of drainage and fertilize at least every 3 months.Mine came out of the box with lemons already on it!

I think so. However, you might need to take out the middle shelf in order to fit the height of a full grown tomato plant.

It is designed for planting one per pot. The tomatoes will get pretty large and you should plan on using stakes or even a small tomato cage. Our planters are doing wonderful this year. It really helps that you can move the bags to maximize the fun. Very happy with these!

Yes. I have tomatoes in mine. also, peppers, squash, radish, arugula, cilantro... also had cucumber and melons but you need enough ground pace to let them spread outside the planters. great planters

I am sure lettuces would be fine. I do not think tomato plants would be happy here. Probably not green beans either. The beans would need something to grow up on and in this they would just hang down onto the ground and block access to rows behind them. Not enough room here for tomato root structure and the plants would stick straight out and then that weight would likely pull plants right out of their soil. Top shelf does work for a little taller plant because it can grow straight upward.

3-5 gallon size for small patio tomates, or dwarf plants. Due to nature of how tomatoes grow, I wouldn't recommend for large tomato plants without some overhead support, and then only the larger 30 gallon+ for stability. Soil in these pots will not have enough density to support any type of trellis. I would plant tomatoes in a suitable 10" or deeper above ground garden box. 4'x8' box built with 2"x12" untreated wood with open bottom and weed block fabric as a barrier between box soil and the ground. Add an overhead frame for support of climbing tomato vines. Mine were 8 feet tall and they still grew over the top! 3-5 gallon size for small patio tomates, or dwarf plants.

Since this is a first time purchase of this tomato I am not able to answer this question. However, I have already planted the seed indoors for outside planting. I hope to have your answer later this summer. Otherwise we can experiment together.

With the 15 gallon size we were going to put 2 tomato plants in just one bag but I if you go to different sites to look up container gardening they say a 3 gallon pot for 1 plant so I recommend the 5 gallon size for 1 tomato plant. We returned ours because we thought they would not hold up over time.

I planted only strawberries in this one, but I also had tomatos and peppers planted in the same idea planters and they did great as well!!! Hope it helps! :)

If you get 3, you could grow your plants throughout the entire life cycle. I just did it with my plants, but be warned, the bulb may not last long. Mine didn't but the plants did grow great under it.

It depends on what you are planting. If you are planting tomato plants, you can only put in two plants (one at each end). If you buy the fertilizer pack, it shows you that you can plant up to 16 plants, depending on what you are planting. I have only planted tomato plants, so as others have said, you can use the guide that comes with fertilizer packs (which cost up to $8.95 each if you use their system plus postage).

Yes!!! I planted last year and veggies turned out wonderful. It comes with instructions on "How To" get the seeds for the next planting season. I did the tomatoes and I've already got them started in my seed starter greenhouse. I'll be planting them next month. Other veggies planned for this year. It's a great way to multiply your seed stocks.
