Don't know what you mean by Grow Pots. Do you have a picture, or can you provide a link to the product?

Depends on how much money you have and what you are using them for.

Hello Anthonyjb

I bought some growpots last year. My poor tomatoes (until I get my polytunnel) are raised in a stone potting shed with a polycarbonate roof. I raised Latah tomatoes in growpots in growbags. They did very well. In fact I had to go away for a week and they even survived that.

I'm planning on using them again this year - otherwise I wouldn't have any tomatoes at all. The weather is too chilly up here for outdoor tomatoes.

I've used themxfor a few years and did a comparison last year. 1 bag? 2 bags? Growpots? No growpots? And I found the best combo to be 3 toms per one growbag all in growpots, in terms of space, yield and cost.

I even bought more so now I have enough for all my toms.

They also make watering and feeding really easy.

I would recommend you get ones with zigzag bottomsxtho as they make it super easy to cut holes in the grow bag.

You will still get a decent crop without, but IMO they're worth the money in time saved on maintainance.

Forgot to mention I did also do some comaprisons between 2 and 3 plants per grow bag and didn't notice much difference.
