when you plant tomatoe plants do you have to put more then one plant in the pot or can one plant be on its own.

Countrylady,
Most of the time, I'd say yes, one to a container.
Alot depends on the size of the container as well.

I do alot of mine in a 5 gallon food grade bucket.

You can even plant a tomato plant in an old bale
of hay/straw too...*When I read it, they said you could put two,
one on either end of the bale*

But usually the reason you'd only put one to a container is the air circulation around the plant.
Alot of times disease is caused by poor air circulation around the plant, when it's confined
and crowded, that invites disease...
