Yes, but a net to protect
yes as long as the pot has drainage holes and use a tomato cage
Yes you can. It may need to be watered more frequently though. It will still need to be staked.
yes. Tomato plants need a min. Of 5 gal. Good potting mix. 5 gal. Buckets work. Make sure it has good drainage. You will also need a support for the vine.
Yes I had great success and look forward to next years growing season.
Yes, absolutely. Save money and buy a five-gallon bucket and drill holes in the bottom and add a layer of small gravel to help with drainage. Use good clean potting soil and plant your tomatoes. An added extra. Most of the tomato cages can be slightly bent to fit inside the bucket and support your plant.
I recommend only if it's outside or a sunny patio.
Sure can. Make sure it has a hole in bottom. Get tomato cage secure it in. If the pot is real big put rocks in the bottom for good drainage and save on potting soil.
