Planted them about 4 ins from the bottom, filled up as the haulms grew, until the bucket was filled to within an inch to allow for watering. Added a bit of chicken pellet every month too.

Haulms grew quite long and flopped over but waited until flowers had finsihed before tipping the buckets over to get the goodies out  :D :D :D

Nathan - pictures and article of Sunshineband's method of using these pots for tomato ring culture in March 2010 copy of 'Kitchen Garden'. Not worth the 3.60GBP, but might be worth a free browse in your local newsagent!
