Question by anonymous: square foot garden and tomatoes?
I have 3 drawers with drilled holes in bottom made of wood. 20 inches by 30 inches. two of them are 10 inches deep the other one is 18 inches deep. Im planning on using mel’s mix…can i put 2 tomato plants per drawer? should i only use the deeper one for tomatoes (18inch) and the 10 inch ones for something else? is 10 inches too shallow for a tomato plant. thx
but please tell me if 10 inches is too shallow?

go for two plants in both boxes
have many drain holes in the bottom
fertilize with every watering
once fruit sets cut back on the water and no more fertilizer
needs plenty of sun

2 per, and 10″ is fine, compare both at the end of the year, see which does better. Add some native soil in to your mix, cover the drain holes with some old rags so you don’t lose all your dirt
