    I tried this last year but neglected to use a control plant for comparison. This year I've grown 4 varieties of tomato, 2 of each, and have used ring culture on one plant of each variety.
    Having seen the difference it makes, I'm fully decided that this is the way to go! Plants are bigger and healthier looking with greater numbers of fruit so if anyone was unsure before, give it a go. You don't have to have the expensive kit, I used old plant pots with the bottoms cut off.

    (If anyone doesn't know what ring culture is, have a quick Google.)

      Yes I found using grow bags that the ring culture is very much improved

      Though I had to laugh, at Garden centre prices, Ten RING CULTURE planters for only £12.59, When you can buy Nine Morrisons Flower buckets for 99p :)

      To be honest before Scrungee pointed me in the right direction, I too would have bought, from a garden centre :roflol: Ignorance is bliss
