I use Root Pouches and I swear the 15 gallon is way more than 3 of the 5 gallon. I have them in sizes from 2 gallon-15 gallons but I only use the 5,7,10,15.

My favorite size for tomatoes is 7 gallon but for the determinate plants, I use 5 gallons.

I bought another 7 gallon brand from Amazon this season - it was tan colored and I thought maybe it would get less gross - not the case at all; even more gross. The height on the tan ones was 10 inches and I really noticed a difference.

I would go for taller than wider.

My mix (ProMix) gets very compacted regardless of size.
