That is quite the impressive collection of containers! Is that because you have issues with your soil? I get nematodes here so I have gone with raised beds and half-buried 18-gallon rubbermaid totes. And I have an assortment of 16-18" pots (14).

I'm going to do a container comparison test too. It'll be homemade Earthbox vs GSC self-watering containers (the 12" deep ones). I look forward to hearing the results of your tests.

I've got some GSC small hanging baskets too. They have been great for bacopa and alyssum. I also have a few topsy-turvys. Based on my experience I don't recommend them for tomatoes. Works great for long vines if you plant from the top.
