[QUOTE="lynnmcmahan, post: 1003320, member: 14607"] The mineral tubs that I use are big enough for two tomato plants. They are also deeper than needed so I put about 4 to 6 inches of styrofoam in the bottom of the tub. This helps with drainage, keeps the drain holes from clogging, and you don't use as much soil. Using a 5 gal bucket, I put about 4" of styrofoam peanuts in the bottom. Had a fellow from church ask me to dump 3, 15 gal pots that he had for tomatoes last year. Talk about heavy. Probably had two 40# bags of soil. Price for growing tomatoes is going up. Thinking about building some earth boxes this year. For container plants, earth boxes are hard to beat. [/QUOTE]
