Hello,

I grow tomatoes in large tubs in the g'house each year. The g'house is
small
(6' X 4') and I can only get 4 plants in because the tubs are very large.

I'd like to get more plants in, and am thinking of trying ring culture. I
know what ring culture is & how it is supposed to work, but does anyone
have
any experience of using it? Also, how many plants should I aim to get in?
I
have never had serious problems with blight, but I know that over crowding
could cause it.

Thanks

I use it all the time.
The main benifit is that you chuck all the growing medium out every
year reducing disease.
It's not possible to overwater.
They're a lot better than stupid growbags.
You won't get any more stuff in the greenhouse though.

In my experience purely as a consumer of gifts of tomatoes, both ring
culture and bed grown, I found the bed grown tomatoes far more flavoursome
than the ring culture ones which always seemed too watery.
