Question by WolfBoy: How many tomato plants can I fit in a 9 inch wide by 6 inch deep hanging basket?
I have some plants that I want to plant in a hanging basket that used to hold three bushes in it. It is 9 inches wide on the top and 6 inches deep on the sides. Would it be good enough to fit just three tomato plants in it, or would it be able to fit four?

I wouldn’t put any in a hanging basket. Tomato plants grow upward and outward. They can be up to 4 ft tall and about a 1 1/2 feet wide. It is not good to have tomato pants crowded together either because they will not blossom properly. It would be better to get a floor planter about 3 feet long a foot and a half wide and about a foot deep. You can fit 3 small tomato plants in that.

A 5 gallon bucket is too small for one tomato plant. Your container sounds way too small for tomatoes.
None. It’s far too shallow and not wide enough.
