Approximately how many cherry tomatoes do you think could fit in these? I want to sell tomatoes out of them but don't want them to be too big.

About twenty of the cherry tomatoes five medium tomatoes fit they really are perfect for displaying them and if they purchase keep your basket and use grocery store bags it is what all vendors use.

I don't know for sure but they're about the size of the carton that cherry tomatoes come in at the store so maybe 15? These are the same size as those green plastic containers strawberries used to come in. One apple fits into it.

Hello, they are about 2x2. I was happy with them as far as size and color. We only planted about 6. But nothing happened with them. Not sure if I didn't plant enough or if it was just the batch? Going to try again this spring with the rest of them. Hope that helped

Yes, these would work very well, there is a nice background juice that comes with the larger pieces of chopped up tomato. You might have to cut up some of the larger pieces of tomato, but I think it would very well in that application.

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.

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.

2 cm x 2 cm I have mine over a raised bed of tomatoes, but had to raise the netting to accommodate growth. I'll be sure to select the smaller bush type of tomatoes next time, as the taller variety are through the netting already, and there is fruit growing outside where the birds can consume. Luckily they are unripened and the birds have left them alone. I'm thinking of bagging the fruit once it becomes of interest to those pesky blue jays!

I cannot imagine getting it out for one potato. I made several batches of cherry tomatoes into sauce this year. I have also used it for grapes, apples, etc. The point of the mill is that skin, seeds, pits and the likes stay in the mill while the rest is passed through. And it is great for that and for saving time.

I have 1 Large Pot weighing about 8 to 10 lbs on top shelf and 1 medium plant on next shelf followed by a small plant, don't think you would be able to get 3 large, not because of weight, but purely because of size and closeness of the individual tables.

Depending on the plants one puts in there. I can fit 4 to 6. I put 6 pepper plant in and 4 tomato plants and stake them. I hope this helps.

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.

they are small , I would put at least 5 in that size of box.. I use 1 per quart jar... I store my rice and noodles in quart jars.

I'd say the quality of mine was really good, maybe 2 bigger plants but not too big . I can fit about eight 6 "pots with small coleus plants because they don't bush too much but not a lot. If you have the space, I'd recommend a bit of a bigger size. After the first few weeks, you'll want a bigger one probably lol!

No. You must put in your own potting mix and a plant. The plant goes through the hole in the bottom. Seed won't work. I put in a cherry tomato plant on June 1st and I have about 40 tomatoes on the plant.

5 gallon is what I use for one tomato plant to give best results. From everything I've read, these plants need this space for growth and nutrients.

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.

Cherry tomatoes, probably depending on the toughness of their skin. If they are very ripe, it might.

Hi Dianna. I haven't tried tomatoes yet, in the fall. My counter top is rounded also, it is also 2 inches thick and the C clamp on until I took it off. But I haven't used it extensively yet.
