I would leave them alone and continue to do as you are and let the roots grow into the soil.

All my plants are up a foot on wooden pallets or sitting up on milk crates. Have RKN and Nematodes here too bad, so sinking out of the question. Iwish I could just dig a trench and drop them in.

This year my husband has some of my leftover plants in 7 gallon grow bags and 5 gallon buckets. With regular watering and weekly feedings of TTF, there is so far no difference between the bucket and bag plants. These are mostly ones that are grafted onto rootstock, and I'm expecting the root systems to go out of control on these!

I have noticed in another post you mentioned feeding your plants once a week with TTF. I using TT and have been doing every other week. Do you use the same amount of TT every week or less? I been giving mine 2TBS of TT and @ TBS of Epsom Salt at each feeding. What should I use now?

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I was doing a minor freak out. I so OCD with my tomato plants my neighbors laugh. They'll change their tune when it comes harvest time for sure. I watch their cars go up and down the road now where they watching for ripe fruits.
Depending on weather and for next year, will definitely get me some bigger containers.
