Question by jason p: How many tomato plants can I plant in a 5 gallon container?
I am planting indeterminate cherry tomatoes and determinate roma tomatoes. Can I put a few plants in one pot? What about spacing if I can plant a few? What’s the smallest container I could use successfully for one plant?

Answer by winterrules
I wouldn’t put more than one in each pot. A three gallon container should be big enough for a tomato plant.

I have a similar fav – only dif is I use large tomatoes, skin and seed, and chop them, put them in a bowl with chopped basil and grated parma cheese and set aside. I cook the eggs in butter and garlic – when they are just a tad undercooked I kill the heat and add the other ingredients cold (room temp is best). Serve with crusty Italian toast.

Only one to a 5 gal container.
Two per pot would be the maximum – you should use a 3 gallon pot for one growing by itself. If you are combining two, I would space them about 1/3rd of the pot diameter apart, so they have some side room and some space to share in the center. The cherry might out-compete the Roma, so I would probably plant separate pots of each, unless one is a crawler and the other a bush form and you want they to look ornamental together – but it might impact the yield.
One
A tomato plant needs a minimum of 24 inches of space for outwards growth.
You should get a bigger container then that. Indeterminate tomatoes get huge. I would go no less then 15 gallons per plant.
Agree – One. Will probably take a 2 cubic meter bag of potting soil $ !. Plunkem in the ground.
