Yeah I think my 15gal fabric pots might be too big, even though i'm running 3-4 stems. I'm moving down to 10gal pots for the majority of my toms next year, and go 1 or 2 stems. What I have to be careful of here is evaporation. The 95F days with 30% humidity suck the moisture quickly and the larger containers do help buffer that. A drip system would help, but I kind of like the hand watering and the oneness I feel with my tomatoes. Also with the outstanding production I'm getting, I'm reducing the number of plants by 1/2 this next season, so I won't have as many to water and can spend the extra time honing my pruning techniques.
