The mentioned that the plant gets big very quickly. How many months specifically will it take to reach the top of the stake?

Does anyone use Growbags (Combination of coco peat and/or husk chips) to grow Tomato's? Growbags are 100% natural and environmentally sustainable, used widely in the industry due to the benefits of the product for Tomato growing...

Help protect our environment, use environmentally friendly products.

why don't you break up the roots when you took the seedling out of the pot? doesn't that make it grow slower?

[Monticola22]

ya it'll defiantly make them grow faster if you break them up a bit

[fatturdburger]

breaking up the roots can cause root rot.

What is the smallest size container suggested to grow tomatoes?

[TheTomatogardener]

@fnasring It should be a 5 gallon container at least...that would be 20' diameter.

I think the roots should be "massaged" as well, to stimulate it and let it know that it's being transferred to different soil.

Thank you! This was very helpful, as I was wondering about whether I should clip off the leaves before burying the tomato plants deeply. I also did not know about over-watering after there are tomatoes on the plants, as it will cause them to crack! No wonder I kept getting cracked tomatoes in previous years! Do I have to use a tomato fertilizer or will plain ol' Osmocote do?...and do I absolutely need to fertilize? Thank you so much!
