EB and Dwarfs
I wanted to ask about the Dwarf project plants Craig is sending to me. How many of the Dwarfs can I grow in the EB? Craig is not sure so I am asking here.
I know that determinates get to be about 4-5 feet tall and I can grow two in the EB. I do not know about the Dwarf project tomatos and wonder if I can plant more than two of them per EB.

Rockporter, I answered you in your other post on this topic. I would say 4. Check my other post for more details.

I have 4 Dwarf Project plants (Iditarod Red, Yukon Quest, Rosella Purple, and Caitydid) in a 31 gallon EarthTainer and it is WAY too crowded.
I am also growing Tastywine and Caitydid 2 per 18 gallon InnTainer and that is just about the right spacing: For an EarthBox, I would recommend 2, or possibly 3 - but no more than that. Raybo |

I did 3 per Earthtainer last year and I thought it was fine.

I don't know what post you are talking about. I didn't ask before that I know of unless it was on Craigs post about sending me some dwarfs? I also said I would start a new thread if I couldn't find any info. Thanks, I will take a look if I can find it, lol.
