I built "2" Earthtainers this spring. I got a late start planting them out only 3 weeks ago. My smallest plant is a Cherokee Purple at 28 inches and my tallest is a Better Boy and a Legend plant both at 42 inches tall. the two tallest plants were put in the Earthtainers at 10 inches tall 3 weeks ago. I cannot believe how fast these plants are growing I put a Brandywine in the ground on June 1st next to the Earthtainer for comparison and it is also 42 inches tall. The Better Boy and the Legend were put out 2 weeks later and have caught up to the Brandywine in height. I can't imagine how big my plants will be in another 4 weeks or so. I have the heavy duty glamos cages and it looks like I am gonna have to buy 4 more to use for extensions very soon Ray is a master in his development of this great SWC system This is my 1st year growing tomatoes and I look like a seasoned pro around here >>>>>>>>>>>>>>Talon
