Two Plants per planting hole?

TomatoDon · February 9, 2006

Some people here in MS think you get better production by planting two plants in a larger planting hole, a few inches apart. The theory is that you have more roots. They grow up together, looking like one big plant, but with twice the roots...in theory. The down side is you have two plants together, each only getting half the growing room and each blocks sun from half of the other. I've tried it and didn't see much difference.

Have any of you tried it, and is it work it? Pros? Cons?
