How much earlier should I set out container plants.

lowlylowlycook · November 9, 2010

So one excuse I'm using for making a couple EarthTainers is that it should give me a chance to set out my early tomatoes earlier and get a bit of a jump on the season. If there is an early frost or just a spell of cold weather, I can just move the containers to the garage.

But what I don't know is just how much earlier should I start the seeds for the container tomatoes than I would for the garden plants?

I'm also considering the Incutainer idea. Has anyone but Raybo tried it?
