So one of my favorite tomato varieties is the Sweet Pea Currant, but in order to grow it you have to really cage it up and be out there to train it upwards, lest it just flop on the ground and vine out horizontally. So given that I was thinking about planting one in a hanging basket this summer as an experiment to let it grow in the method it likes best. That being said, a normal tomato plant uses around 60 cubic feet of soil (research papers I have read on tomato plants root health), which is significantly less than a hanging basket would provide, not to mention the near constant watering in order to not let the soil dry out. So, I turn to the group to ask if anyone has attempted to grow a currant-like tomato in a hanging basket before. And if so then what hanging basket size/setup did you use?
Anyone?
