Is this deep enough to plant tomatoes?

Oh yes. We had 4 tomato plants and were drowning in tomatoes by the end of the summer. At one point I had about 90 tomatoes hanging there. We also had peppers, radishes, beans, and peas.

Fill the smart pot with soil mix to within about 2 inches of the top. Moisten soil. Create a hole in the middle and plant the tomato as you would in a garden bed. With tomatoes, planting up to the bottom two branches will encourage more root growth. Firm the soil, water, fertilize, etc. A fifteen gallon pot is huge for one tomato plant. Mine grew really well in 3 and 5 gallon pots with 2" of pea gravel in the bottom for more stability and drainage.

Sure, anything is possible. That may slow the draining of water, with more roots on the soil. I would use more plant food. I was never successful at tomatoes, but Japanese cucumbers grew very nice and huge. Hope this helps. Joe

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.

16 3/4" measured from the outside, it is full of soil now. I have grown a lot of tomatoes, cherry and larger, they do great, depending on your climate.

I would say no, not deep enough, the wok might be a better option for paella or just use a paella pot

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

absolutely no. Tomatoes need much more light. With 4, or even 8 bulbs they will get very tall and stringy. I wouldn't use this to grow the tomatoes more then 1 ft before getting them out side. I have a couple of these plus 4ftx 8 bulb units and they do a good job of starting them but can't be used to grow to maturity. Growing flowers is a different story ... they work great.

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.

Yes and in multiple ways. I would suggest going lengthwise so you can easily garden, weed and reach your plants. Also put in the middle support boards so it doesn't bow.

I don't know, as I am using as a planter. I drilled holes in the bottom and filled with dirt and mulch. This way you don't have to get on your hands and knees to plant and maintain.

I would not think so. It is tall but not wide. It is only 25 inches deep. More suited for verticle things like hoes or shovels. Might hold some potting soil bags etc.

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

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.

I am at work but I believe it is 18" deep. I like it and it has held soil, easy to water and my plants have done very well

I just received my vertical garden, so I have done any planting yet. I bought mine for strawberries. I would say some veggies would be fine, smaller compact, lightweight veggies. The tomatoes would be too heavy for it. It should be supported in some way with either the base that is made for it or mounted to something stable.

It Is deep. It takes 3 cubic feet with is like 80 bags of soil. I however used a filler and I volunteer at a horse rescue so I have access to lots of fertilizer
