2 Tomatos in 1 Seven Gallon SWC?

Salty_Dog · November 21, 2009

Just wondering what people's views are on planting 2 Cherry Type Tomatoes in the one SWC of about 7 Gallons?

Will they compete too much for space, nutrients and water?

Personally, i can't see the water being an issue, and in my mind i feel the container size can handle 2 of these smaller type Tomatoes. But i would like to hear the views of others hear.

Planning on planting a Gold Nugget and Cerise (both cherry type).
I feel a SWC for each is a bit of a waste, but i might be wrong.

Plus i'm running out of space and material to build more SWC's

Thank you for any suggestions.

The idea of a Red and Yellow cherry in the one container appeals to me on a visual level also.
I was hoping i could train them up either side of the Cage.
