Toms in grow bags

I'll be growing toms in the greenhouse this year in grow bags, can I also plant strawberries in the same bags at the base of the toms? Or will this have some adverse reaction.

Steve...

 

No not really. You need to plant strawberry plants in autumn. Remember Grow bags are soaked in trace elements for the long term survival of the Tomato plants so give it a go. make room for some Tagetes to keep the white fly away from the Tomato's

 

what are Tagetes.

 

Tagetes are the pretty small Marigolds ... which are supposed to ward off whitefly etc but never did with me .... the same way garlic planted under roses doesn't with me .... I am obviously doing something wrong ...... :hehe:

 

Toms will shade the strawberries and reduce the crop

 

I've planted my strawberries in a well known supermarkets shopping trolley that someone abandoned outside our house, it's great! I lined the trolley with remnant of a pool liner, added drainage holes and filled with a general purpose compost/top soil mix. Last year we had an abundance of juicy fruit and expecting the same this year Cos it's on wheels, I can move it from here to there to suit needs!

 

I planted Marigolds to ward off the bugs but the slugs ate them!! As for growbags, I find they dry out too quickly so I use the growbag compost in pots and sit the pots on stones in a water reservoir, that way I can control the watering much better.

 

I am planting poached egg and nemophila plants to attract the predators of the pests-anyone had any joy with that in the past?
