Why Tomatoes Can Be Difficult to perfect

agail · January 3, 2010

I started growing tomatoes last year and went at it from many different angles ie. grow bags, upside down planters etc. I tried 3 different varieties but the best for me was the ‘San Marzano’. I had limited success and wondered why when I had put so much effort in. Seems I have been doing a few things wrong and never realised the humble tomato can be a difficult little subject.

I found a good article here on growing tomatoes.

Does anyone have much confidence in these upside down planters?
What are your favourite growing methods? Im thinking of ditching the upside down containers this year since their success was limited.
