JJB - I try not to cram them too close. So about 18 inches apart in a double staggered row.
The back ones are trained on strings so they fan out a bit?
The front ones I can't reach anywhere to tie them in so I train those on a cane.
I plant very deep - will try to find a photo. I start most of my tomatoes early March or last few day of feb. so they are quite big plants by the time I plant them in the borders end of May/beginning June.
TMT - I was worried about that when I got my GHs. My big GH I've had 10 years and I've planted tomatoes in the borders every year. The pots are pretty big so I also chuck a shovel of earth out and add some compost and chicken manure pellets along with each pot. I add BFB a few weeks before planting ( after I've weeded!)Then I often mulch the top with compost from my bins if I've got it.
