I have grown toms using the ring culture method for about 3 years and have had a lot of success, but i have always put three tom plants in one bag, only this year i will do what Monty suggests and put two to a bag. The one thing i will try is to fill the inner ring with John Innes no3 and see if i get any better results.

Very good little article. Like many, I WAS going to go for three plants per growbag, but I can see Monty's argument and will now just plant two. I will also try the ring culture idea - thanks a lot!
