can you grow tomatoes in 9 inches?

Yes. I used the wire tomato frames to hold them up. But I also stacked 2 frames on top of each other for deeper soil mix. Both ways work

My wife and I grew cucumber plants and tomato plants from seed to about 6"-8" before it was nice enough for them to go outside. Must have had around a dozen plants under it. That being said I'm sure flowers will be happy under it. I have also used them for larger plants ;)

We do grow tomatoes in ours, but we also loosen up the soil on which the garden box sits to make sure the roots have room.

For cherry tomatoes you'll need a pot that's about 5 gallons or more. The 7 gallon smart pot would work well.

I think so. However, you might need to take out the middle shelf in order to fit the height of a full grown tomato plant.

I did not use for tomatoes but I have no reason to believe you would plant any different from ground plant. I read on www to plant on side covering roots and fuzzy texture up to the first leaves covering with 2-3 inches soil and I did this in ground and was amazed leaves were directed back toward the sky almost overnight. Not sure if this would work in pots due to space but again I would plant as normal depth in ground.

Hi! Thanks for your question. This unit will work well for you - it can accommodate up to about 9". Trust that helps.

I plan to use 9" square pots inside two 4'x4' flood trays or something close to that. With that said I will be putting 12 to 16 plants in each of the flood trays totaling 24 to 32 plants with no longer than a 3 week veg along with some pruning or tying of the plants.

Whatever you can grow hydroponically can be grown in this once you accept space limitations. I have just started tomatoes for the first time. Obviously they will take over the entire unit and so my second unit is for salads. Not sure tubers can be successfully grown in hydroponics, but then I have not tired that.

I don't see why not.... I have tomato, poblano peppers and Asian Eggplant and they are all getting to that height..... I did have to line the sides of the planters with what I had available - which was a plastic tarp but that's because I'm in So Fl... and I needed to keep moisture in so I don't have to water as much.

Each set covers 5ft 9in therefore you will need 3 sets for a 12ft garden if you are only bordering one side.

that will depend on the plants in question, and the amount of root mass they will create. I have grown two rather large tomato plants in mine. one suggestion I can make is adding air to the reservoir with a fish tank air pump and air stone. this made my plants thrive.

Absolutely. I started over 1,500 tomato pepper and eggplant seeds in my basement using a light and grow set ups until they were ready for sale and planting outdoors. you need to watch the seedlings carefully because the seedlings will get leggy if plants are exposed to too much light. They can be started in 72 cube strays (3 trays to a typical light set up) and need to be properly watered and fed with a diluted liquid seed starter (b-1) for food ( use an eyedrop) . They need to be rotated and be subject to the lightness and darkness of a typical day as if they were outside. As they grow they can be transplanted into a bigger cardboard like containers that you can find at Big Lots or Ocean State Job Lots. Eventually all you have to do is put these into the ground when it is thier time for planting. Hope this helps.

I went out and purchased salad seeds from a local store and used the growing medium supplied in the kit called "Grow Anything" and am having tremendous success. So choose the salad you like and grow it. I have not tried tomatoes but might in the future.

Yes, 9inch measurement from the top off the apron to the bottom of the apron. You should be fine.

A regular tomato.......1/4 inch? We've never had a problem with this and we've beeen slicing tomatoes for a long time. How cool is this that you're asking? Good luck; I think you should buy it and you'll like it!

Yes you can. Each piece is at least 2 feet wide , so 9 feet shouldn't be a problem. The only issue would be standing up on its own. You would need to have slight bends to keep it upright.
