Tom, I am growing my dwarf varieties, SFT included, in 25 gallon Earthboxes made from 25 gal rubbermaind totes, (See my thread in this fourm on how to make them)

I probably could get a way with using a smaller size with the dwarves. That same thread someone else posted some plans that included how to make a self watering container from two 5 gallon buckets. When I saw that I immediately started germinating a couple more dwarf varieties so I could try them out in the buckets.

My feeling is this: As long as my container has excellent soil ( I use 1/3 Peat, 1/3 Vermiculite, 1/3 Compost), enough soil so that it doesn't dry out too quickly and a big enough water reseviour so that plant is never thristy, and I supply extra nutrients using a foliar spray of fish/seaweed: the tomatoes will be happy.
