Is it too small for tomatoes?

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

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.

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.

Sollie, I use mine only for tomatoes. It will hold 7 or 8 medium size tomatoes plus about 20 or more grape tomatoes scattered across the tray (on top of and around the medium tomatoes). I hope this helps. Sharon

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.

Yes! Right now I use it exclusively on tomatoes. I have the four different cones (where the fruit you are wanting to use comes out) and I use the one with the larger holes for making salsa, and a medium size hole for tomato juice. It works wonderfully!

I think so, I'm growing a tomato plant with mine and it seems to be doing fine.

i have only used it for tomatoes. However, I think that is a great idea and would work very well.

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 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.

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.

The Squeezo isn't appropriate for salsa. The tomatoes need to be chunkier. The Squeezo is for sauce type things.'

It is relatively small -- 6" diameter and 1 1/2" deep. It is good for quinoa, however. in small quanities.

No, it's not too large. It's great for soups, stews, vegetable casseroles, etc. I cook for 2 usually and it gives us leftovers for two more meals.

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.

never tried that, if the tomatoes are firm i would say it should work.Soft tomatoes would get destroyed.

Haven't used it for that but I would think it could. It is sharp and powerful. No problem for tomatoes .

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.
