My feeling is that a 2 gallon pail would be on the small side. But you can try it.

Thanks for the comment. I agree, it's always good to bury a lot of the stem with tomatoes.

Simply put the root ball through the hole, not the plant.

Hanging the plants upside down makes them easier to deal with. The vines hang down instead of flopping all over and needing to be staked or caged. I think it makes watering a little easier too.

Glad you enjoyed it. Be looking for more.

would a 2 gallon ice cream pail be sufficient or would that be too small for the roots?

I find that the plants are stronger, in the long run, if you bury a lot of the stem, leaving about 2-3 sets of leaves showing.

I was just gonna say, that aint a 2 inch hole!Whats the real benefit of hanging them upside down? Space saving? I am thinking of doing this inside my restaurant.
