      Especially with things like the dwarf tomato project, there are hundreds of varieties that dont get over three feet tall. That plus grow bags and the lightweight coco coir soil mixes that can be easily shipped and carried around it really doesn’t make sense not to.

        I like to let my tomatoes vine and go crazy for the extra shade in the mornings. :) With trellises, they’re super nice.

        They really aren’t that much easier to grow than most other things. They just offer more value for the time and space.
