What size container is appropriate for growing pepper and tomato plants? I have a supply of 5-gallon plastic containers I purchased from a nursery. Are these too large for peppers and large enough for tomatoes? I have about 10 kinds of pepper seedlings growing in the house now and have clay soil in the yard. I've never tried growing veggies in containers before. Also, several local gardeners told me they sometimes use styrofoam packing peanuts in the bottom of containers to avoid using as much potting soil when the plants' roots don't need the space. Is this okay?
