Ami (or anyone else): I'd like to return to a point I made earlier, about the size of the bags. My surprise at your suggestion of growing in 5 gal containers, I realized, was based on the size of the supposedly 12 gal white grow bags. Today I looked at a few old paint pails I have in the garden and sure enough they say 5 gals. They're huge, certainly in comparison to the 12 gal grow bags. So it's really not an optical illusion at all, but it accounts for why I thought 5 gal containers would be less than 1/2 the size of these grow bags. (The bags I used last season came from phoenixorganics.com. They're the same as on offer at groworganic.com, the "Easi-Lift" ones). There must be something I'm not "getting" here. Can anyone shed light on it? My aim is to get the right containers for dwarfs and regular indeterminate tomato plants and, alas, I don't have much experience. Many thanks. Gary
