[Broadhaven]

This is my second year of growing toms, last year I grew all the same variety as I wasn't sure how successful I would be. I grew them all from seed and had far too many plants- 12 in all!!
I grew them in a grow bag with the ring culture(I think this is what its called). I am thinking about just cutting a grow bag in half and standing in on the end this year. Is this method ok or shall I stick to the ring culture method

Either methods will work Broadhaven    So long as the roots have room to grow and they are kept well watered (but not drowned!) when they flower/set fruit so you don't have blossom end rot (caused by irregular/underwatering), it doesn't really matter.

The ring culture method works well for me and is probably a lot more stable than half a grow bag on end. Toms get very top heavy so the more you can spread the weight the better.

I do my toms and cucumbers that way with no problems
