I've been looking at these grow pots and unsure whether they are worth investing in. Has anyone used them and do they help yield more fruit/make it easier to have successful tomatoes and cucumbers etc?? I am thinking if getting 6-9 and planting all my tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers in them, any thoughts / advice welcome. http://www.selections.com/tomato-and-vegetable-growbag-pots-6.html

I've not seen them before, but by the description, there is no reason why they wouldn't work. It makes watering easy and the root structure would have more room, which in theory works. They seem new but someone may know more.
I use these for indoor tomatoes and cucumbers, and the extra soil depth really makes a difference at the back end of the season. You would still need to feed plants regularly, but I find the grow-pots maintain a more consistent moisture level than just using grow bags. Give it a go!
I use them for my cucumbers but for my tomatoes I use flower buckets on top of the grobags.

That's a lovely picture.
Roll on the hot and productive times.
Nice one Pam!
Did give em a bash last year
but felt no more beneficial than the bottomless flower bucket technique "Lilylouise" as shown, will revert back to that this year! Will give the cucumbers a go in em this Year though! See how we go!
