Growing tomatoes

Square Foot Garden with tomatoes
Question from a follower: I've tried Tomatoes many times. Right now I am buying them from one of our local gardeners. I'm not dedicated enough to dig up all the weeds etc from my garden and the plants I want to thrive just die off. I have been thinking about the 'hanging' type of tomato plastic bags they have...have you tried them? I'm wondering if for a very busy person as myself, if their yield is worth their cost?
Answer:  I have tried all different ways of growing tomatoes and by far my best results came from using the square foot gardening method http://www.squarefootgardening.com
the picture shows a SFG with tomatoes and well as other plants. I would suggest you go to their web site and learn about this very inexpensive and productive system. I have tried many of the hanging systems available and they did not work very well here in So Cal as we have warm – windy summers and the plants just cook hanging out in the wind.
