Lovely my passion greetings from the Caribbean islands Trinidad and Tobago

[@Liap]

Thank You very much ☺ Greetings from Slovakia

[@KM-nq7ez]

Amazing…. I have never seen plants so completely loaded with tomatoes. Well Done.

[@Liap]

Thank you 🙂

[@davannhuynh4279]

Wow, what kind of tomatoes are those, they're so prolific! You're so good with growing vegetables, thank you for sharing your video!

[@Liap]

Thank you very much for your supporting comment! These are bush tomatoes called "Aztek". They are allegedly from Czech Republic. Very productive variety, as you can see they can get you plenty of tomatoes even when grown in small contianers, great for small spaces or balcony garden. I grew these on the roof of shed, exactly like they are on thumbnail 🙂

Congratulations! ... Can't get better than that!!!

[@Liap]

Thank you very much!

[@mylaskitchen9249]

Wow! It looks like there are more fruits than leaves.

[@Liap]

Very productive variety, I was also removing bottom leaves as the plants grew, when there was a leaf that was not getting sunlight anymore and started to go pale, I removed it. That keeps plants tidy and allows for better ventilation 🙂

I grew the same variety last year and I got like 10 tomatoes on my plant😅😭 You're too good

[@Liap]

These are one of the best varieties. They are very nutrients-demanding. I grew them in almost pure compost and still they grew crazy when I fertilized them.

You plant tomatoes in pots for a lot of fruit, you take care of the plants very well. what kind of tomato is this in the place you call it? Is it cherry tomatoes?

[@Liap]

Hello, the variety is called "Aztek" and yes, it produces round cherry tomatoes. Thank You very much! ☺

[@azander1958]

This guy: grows tomato so perfectly Meanwhile mine: Leaf miners and wilting

[@Liap]

Hello, you have you tried Neem oil? When you see the first leaf having a leaf miner sings, cut it off and spray the plant with neem oil. It is supposed to disrupt their life cycle.

[@helentc]

Neem is great, but as I understand it, don't spray during pollination.

Juicy tomatoes.

Exactly! 🙂

[@morganmorgym]

What does the plastic wrap snd coffee grounds do? What does pruning the bottom do? At what stage and how often do you use fertilizer?

[@Liap]

Hello, the plastic wrap keeps the seedling trays moist, so I don't have to water the soil again until the seedlings emerge from it. Coffee grounds contain nutrients (NPK) that tomatoes need to thrive. Pruning the bottom is not neccessary, You can keep it, but first, I wanted to add compost when the soil settled, and second, the bottoms are very likely to grow few small fruits, because there is just not enough sunlight going through the whole plant's foliage and reaching them. Also, they are first to get mold on when rainy weather with cold mornings arrive. Since I've been growing in mostly compost I don't fertilize much. Just here and there let's say twice during the flower production and then twice during the fruit forming.

[@morganmorgym]

@@Liap This is great information. Gardening is not as simple as it seems, and requires a lot of know how. I think I'm getting it. Thank you!

[@Fifispatular]

[@clementcorimbelly7058]

Grew some tomatoes some time ago. But got some spots on them and had to uproot all. Any advice for future planting tomatoes?

[@Liap]

Hello, spots on leaves or on fruit? There are diseases that can cause that, most of them are caused by fungus or bacteria. Keeping tomato plants tidy and regulary pruned can prevent fungal diseases. Also not planting them anywhere near potatoes.

[@wildflea22]

Wow, i tried growing Aztec last year, but they weren't as bushy and with so much fruit as yours. The grew tall and thin plants. I wonder what i did wrong.

[@Liap]

Hello. Did they get enough direct sunlight?

[@ssug]

What is the difference between a container and a pot?

[@Liap]

I am not a native speaker, but I think pot is usually smaller and round shape, and container is bigger and can have different shapes.

[@ssug]

@@Liap Thanks for the reply.

[@marcus3492]

Are these sun gold tomatoes? The plant is small so I’m assuming it’s a determinate plant.

[@Liap]

Hello. No, this variety is called "Aztek". Yes it is a determinate tomato 👍🍀

[@badboybootz8]

Did you use any fertilizer, and how did you pollenate

[@Liap]

Hello, yes I was using compost tea and chicken manure fertilizer with these. I pollinated with hand, just slightly shake the flowers with fingers, so you can see the pollen falling.

[@badboybootz8]

[@dvdgalutube]

How does it taste? Sweet or more on the sour side? Is the skin thick? Thanks!

[@Liap]

They are more on the sweet side and their skin is not thick. Their taste is similar to classic cherry tomatoes with less intensity but these are more juicy.

[@dvdgalutube]

@@Liap thank you!

[@BDazzld2]

What size are the black pots? Any suggestions where to find them?

[@Liap]

The size is 10 liters and I got them from local shop, they were selling cut-flowers in them.

[@nhongpham7914]

How can you make the plant short? Or this is some particular kind of tomatoes? Mine grew so tall.

[@Liap]

Yes, these are determinate tomatoes (bush), they reach a certain height and than they stop growing.

[@reginabahten4228]

Apparently Aztek is micro dwarf strain and grows to only about 8 inches tall.

[@annisaahmad7519]

How often should we watering our tomatoes?

[@Liap]

Hello, always check the soil. When top 2cm is dry, then water them. Inconsistent watering causes tomatoes to crack, so it could be misleading to generaly say how often. It depends on the weather and also stage of their growth. When they are growing fruits, they need much more water then when they are smaller plants.

[@annisaahmad7519]

@@Liap thank you for the reply. I just started gardening for a few months and still need a lot to learn..

[@Liap]

[@RUTHHLP]

Do you have to prune these at all / remove any of the branches / leaves? I've got some of these growing now and the foliage is so densely packed, I don't know how the tomatoes will fit in there 😂

[@Liap]

Well, you don't have to prune bush tomatoes, but I do remove very bottoms (leaves and side shoots) because those are first to get some disease in rainy weather when nights get colder. Also they as the upper foliage grows, they are getting lesser and lesser sunlight. I am growing 2 bush tomato varieties right now and they are getting really packed right now, but the plants will handle that. Sometimes the fruit gets really stuck between branches that it's pretty hard to get it out 😄

[@lan-phuongnguyen4304]

What variety is this?

[@Liap]

The variety is called "Aztek"

[@Andromeda8181]

How big were the black pots please? Thanks

[@Liap]

Hello, the pots are 10l size (2.6gal)

[@Daarreee]

Is it possible for pot be a bit smaller. I just ask because of space in my apartment, I have now 10 days grown Aztek and know that root is biggest then any other plant that size.

[@Liap]

@@Daarreee Hello, well they have quite some root system for not so big plants. I am growing some bush tomatoes right now in 7liter (1.8gal) and I think aztek would handle too. Although, if You want to have decent harvest, some sort of fertilizer is recommended (assuming the soil is of higher qualitty too) You can grow this variety even in 3-4 liter containers, but It will be much smaller, produce much less and You will probably have to water it multiple times a day. At leas on sunny days.

[@Daarreee]

@@Liap thank you very much 😎

[@elynwilliams7924]

Did you apply fertilizer?

[@Liap]

Hello, yes I used compost tea and also chicken manure fertilizer as far as I remember.

[@Liap]

@@youtubeaccount-gp5ml Well if you want to grow tomatoes indoors you either need artificial grow light, or sunny windowsill, very sunny 🌞 If growing during winter, You will definitely need artificial grow lights.

[@MelissaLauer-o1d]

How many seeds do you sow per pot?

[@Liap]

I sow multiple (3-4) seeds per tray and then thin them, either to one plant per tray spot, or later when transplanting them to containers. The earlier you do it, the easier for the plant to adapt.

[@lazycarper]

how did you make the chicken manure fertalizer?

[@Liap]

By pouring water into a bucket with chicken manure and then mixing it with water (the bigger the plants, the higher the content of fertilizer)

[@lazycarper]

@@Liap if i took say a can ok cokes worth of chicken manure to a bucket of water would that be to much , how much manure do you use , as a rough guide, please can you show this on your next video thanks

[@Liap]

​@@lazycarper Roughlythe bucket is filled 1/3 with chicken manure and 2/3 is water. And then I dilute the fertilizer by 1:10 ratio for young plants (so they get used to it) and increasing the concentration as the plants grow, up to 1:5 ratio.

[@lazycarper]

@@Liap hey dude thanks for the help/reply i have done it with hourse manure all be it not very well ill try your way, as your tomatoes rock

[@Liap]

@@lazycarper horse manure is great too, what exactly didn’t go well? Chicken manure is stronger, so start carefully with smaller amounts.

[@deshgouri]

Wow. Thanks again! You are awesome! Don't those egg shells attract unwanted guests to your garden? Any rodents to get the egg shells?

[@Liap]

I've never experienced such thing with egg shells. I don't know any downside of using them in containers or in open garden. Though, they are not any crucial component of the soil and their minerals release is very slow. But some people may benefit from it, especially when growing plants in sandy soil, which often contains less calcium. Thank you very much" You are awesome too! 🙂
