I just wondered what would be the smallest pot that would be practical to use?
Debating whether to re-pot mine as they are border line in size.

I would say the size of the flower buckets you get in the supermarkets - I think they're about 13L -
It depends how much fruit you want from them and how much space you have really. I grow my house tomatoes in 3l pots because nothing bigger will really fit on the windowsill, but I am only growing 2 trusses of fruit. Outdoors (or in a greenhouse) I would think a 10l pot would be about right - the smaller the pot the more issues you are going to have with watering and the more feed you will have to give them.A life is like a garden.

ATM i have the same varieties in ten litre flower buckets ( lidl) and 25 litre pots ( amazon) and so far they are both looking good, time will tell but i should imagine the 25l would be more productive, but as Penellype says, it all depends what you want from them i guess

I use flower buckets for all my toms. I have to be careful with watering and feeding but can run my Sungold to 5/6 trusses giving me 100/120 toms per plant.Potty by name Potty by nature.

Mine are Chadwick variety, I chose them because it's my mothers maiden name.
I think I just have time to re-pot, my plants have just produced a second truss and tiny tomatoes on the first.
I grew Sungold last year, the nicest I've grow and tasted.Last edited by donksey; 01-07-2015, 11:05 PM.Comment
