As long as the plant was mature enough (the root system has expanded throughout the container) you won't have to worry about soil falling out.<br /><br />It could also prevent tomatoes from cracking during periods of heavy rain.adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09886352800474264548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255881587336767342.post-52759764783217855752010-09-23T21:29:53.584-04:002010-09-23T21:29:53.584-04:00A couple days delay, but I wonder if that's an...A couple days delay, but I wonder if that's an interesting point:<br /><br />tilting SIPs over during inclement weather.

It looks like I fell in a creek. I'll see if a wash cycle can save it.<br /><br />I think that's one of the advantages of growing in containers.
