I sometimes leave two tomato plants in one hole. Whether the plants are
determinate or indeterminate, I get roughly the same total production from
the two plants as I get from one plant grown alone. Both plants usually
grow fine, but each is reduced enough in vigor to limit per plant
production. Basically, the only reason I have found to grow two plants
together is as a backup in case some creature decides to kill off one of the
plants. My plants were grown in the ground, not in pots.

Hello,
In the past there has been discussion of putting two fruit trees in the
same planting hole. Would it make any sense to put two tomato plants in
the same planting hole?
Indeterminate plants would be a problem (too large), but what about two
determinate tomato plants in the same hole?
