Default Ring culture

Thanks for all the help.

I assume that 'bed-grown' means grown in the ground rather than in a tub. My
g;house is on concrete so I dont have that option. I have tried growing
outdoor varieties elsewhere in the garden, with limited success (I live in
S. Gloucestershire).

A bigger g'house is the best option, but the maximum size I could fit in
would be 5' X 7' . I've looked around but cannot find one.

Thanks again

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

KK
