How deep is too deep

Lukasrl · April 10, 2018

Hello,

I was discussing planting tomatoes deep to a couple of coworkers today and one of them said they think I'm planting too deep.

A little background. I have roughly 15 plants growing. I started them from seed in a seed starting tray. Once they outgrew that, I placed them in the bottom 3rd of a 1 gal pot. As they grew, I placed more dirt in the pot and clipped off the lower branches. I now am transplanting them into 5 gal grow bags. They look awesome and he roots are growing wonderful. I planned on doing this until it's warm enough to plant outside. So the question is, if done graduall8, can you plant too deep?
