In relation to the SOG soil garden questions I posted in a previous thread, I asked about ways to maximalize root space in pots where the horizontal dimension of the grow space is quite limited, but the vertical splace is not. After getting a thumbs up for the idea of simply using a very deep set of pots (perhaps something made of little cut lengths of ABS tubing with drilled caps on the bottom?), someone suggested that in addition to using a deep growing pot, that I consider sticking all of the plants in a single tray.

Now, I've caught in passing (in reading other articles, message boards, etc.) that some would say this isn't a good idea and can pose problems. Is this in fact the case, and if so, why? If it isn't the case, would it still be of any help to do this, or would the net effect be the same as growing the plants in their own pots?
