I'm going to do about eight plants this year but want to optimize production.

What kind of soil mixture should I use?

How big does the pot have to be to do two plants per?

Nothing like some homegrown dermaters.

Are you growing pot or tomatos? Both want a slight acidic soil with a ph in the low 6s that will drain moderately well.

I do one plant per pot. 10" or larger. Smaller pots make crappy maters.

I'm wondering if this should go on the OB (unless you're attempting a hydroponic solution?)

3 mater plants per 15 gallon pot. I use better boy maters. Go to a nursery and buy 1 4lb bag of ferdilome vegy and mater fertilizer, and 10 growth tabs. They will come n a brown paper bag. Go to lowes and buy a bag of black cow shite(yellow bag) and a bag of high dollar miricle grow. Go home mix it all up n wheel barrel, then fill up 15 gallon pot till its 6" from top of pot. Add 3 growth tabs every 5" from bottom of pot. Plant 3 mater plants 6" apart n circle. Build cage out of 3 metal t post and wire. Make it so u can pull pot out every year. U can use dirt for 4 years then buy new dirt.
