[@Mary-bd9vu]

I can’t believe how hard it was to find a video like this without all the advanced confusing stuff! I just wanted to make sure I was doing the basic steps right, Thank you!

[@richross8092]

I third that comment!

[@maymay222ify]

I fourth it!😂 I tried the first time last year and failed miserably- optimistic second time is a charm

[@jackielambert7980]

I needed this! I love gumbo!!! 🤣

[@Padraigp]

Yes exactly. I am not interested in anything ingenious yet just the simple basics.

[@festerhairball6588]

New Sub here. My wife reminded me of the time I waited all season just to watch a squirrel run off with my only tomato ......i chased it .....cursing like a sailor. We both laugh now.....her more than me. You have a gift of teaching & I'm looking forward to being successful next time with your help!

[@jenluvzya]

😂😂😂😂

[@pamelavance648]

Laughing thank you

[@LaLunaLady]

I did a "topsy turvy" growing system a few years ago. I ended up with exactly ONE tomato, large enough for a BLT after a $60 investment. You can bet I enjoyed that sandwich.

[@Padraigp]

That is hilarious! My first year i had one bowl of beans one tiny tomatoe and lots of rasberries. ...i still have rasberries and now i have lovely crops of nettles everywhere too lol! Gonna try again in a container.

[@blancajrodriguez]

I appreciate this slow, step by step video. I’m ready to plant my first tomato!

[@DB-gd4us]

Don't forget the magnesium he doesn't give full information 1 teaspoon in one gall of water every 1 to 2 weeks and 1 tea spoon calcium nitrate water soluble same as magnesium

[@rrrusty49]

Awww, a tomato tutorial isn't complete without a pup and her Frisbee. ❤️

[@alicemccain585]

I am so glad I found you! Most folks are planting "way" over my dumb head!!! I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. I know more about the habits of roaches and rats, than I do planting anything!!! You really speak to the beginner! I really appreciate that! I will be following YOU....ALWAYS!!! Thanks for helping to make me a "junior" gardener!!!!

[@alicemccain585]

Watched you all day. Love your Q&A VIDEOS!!! Thank you for responding to my comment. Have a great growing week. I am doing better than I thought I would. Lol

[@vBDKv]

My first ever tomato plant (last year) was in a 5liter container. It produced the most delicious tasting cherry tomatoes I have ever eaten. It snapped in the wind, I dropped my phone on it's shoots and yet, it still produced a decent sized bowl of cheery tomatoes. This year I'm using a 40liter container, let 'er rip :)

[@sgprpj]

Thank you for actually going to the store to show a visual as you teach.....Thannkkkkk YOU!!!! This has helped me tremendously

[@ScottHead]

Thanks for the encouraging comment, yeah I figured I needed to go, and only planned to hit up my local feed store, but as you saw they didn't have good selections. :-(

[@prfox1827]

Yes... I needed that trip to the store also

[@prfox1827]

I purchased miracle from shake and feed w/calcium before watching the video can this be an alternative to the fertilizer?

[@karenhodges7545]

I like your relaxed attitude. Easy ideas, instead of comlicated. I’ll be back

[@brbillingslea]

This was everything! Most certainty info an inexperienced tomato grower needs to know BEFORE starting and not just talking about pruning. Thank you!

[@ScottHead]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dystopiagear6999]

About 5-gallon buckets - I recommend them *highly* for beginners simply because they're so easy/cheap to get (often free) and work with. Upfront cost is a huge factor keeping folks from getting started, and buying several large containers and many bags of soil to fill them adds up *fast* at the cash register. The trick with 5's is to put a water reservoir in them so they never dry out completely. Simply take a plastic bottle - a 2-liter soda bottle fits perfectly - and cut a few small slits near the top. Run a couple 18" pieces of nylon rope into the bottle to reach out into the soil and wick water for the roots if you want, but if you skip that part the roots will simply grow right into those slits to access the water. Bury that so the top of the container just sticks above the soil and keep the bottle full of plain water or weak nutrient solution (take your favorite soluble fertilizer and mix it 1/4 strength for steady use.) Try a couple, you will be pleased with the growth and production you get from such a small amount of soil. I've often found that the roots do very well in the soil and *also* fill up that reservoir. Healthy roots with steady access to water and nutrients gives you results almost like doing true hydroponics, at *far* less cost than most hydro set-ups or using 20 gallons of store-bought soil for every single plant. I've grown many varieties of heavy-feeding/high-water-need plants like tomatoes, peppers cukes, etc this way for years now and I get very worthwhile harvests every time.

[@ScottHead]

I might give it a go. So many folks are telling me I should so perhaps I will. My buckets are getting real old, might be at the end of their life but I think one more season can be had.

[@dystopiagear6999]

@@ScottHead Just try one or two of them with plants you're already comfortable with. It just about takes longer to describe it than it does to set one up :) It's true though, even the good food grade buckets only last a few years out in the sun. Grab one by the rim and if you can easily break a piece off, it's gotten too brittle from the UV & heat, and needs to be replaced. But my source for once-used buckets (mainly they were originally filled with cherries) charges so little for them that two dollars each for 4-5 year's use is very much worth it to me.

[@corylechner8303]

Dystopia Gear - I'm not completely picturing how you do you 5-gallon bucket, 2-liter bottle setup. Any more info you could give to help me picture the setup ?

[@ashleymcdonald2239]

Thank you so much. Now I know why my tomatoes in containers gave me no fruit, last year. I planted large variety in 5,gallon buckets, and used raised bed soil instead of potting mix. Thank you again. ✝️❤️🌍

[@BakerBBQ]

I've grown tomatoes for several years in the ground very unsuccesfully, I finally figured out that the space I had wasn't getting nearly enough sun. So I decided to grow this year in pots. This video was super informative and makes me feel like I can do this no problem! Thanks so much!!!

[@ScottHead]

That's great! Best of luck!

[@Peace-nz3jx]

[@wmurphy632]

Try Matt’s wild cherry in those part sun spots. They reseed, too. You’ll have them forever.

[@rosemarysbabydaddy858]

Best video ever. I'm in Southern California and just getting into gardening. My backyard is all concrete and pavers so containers are my only choice (without tearing apart concrete). I started with plants on my patio (sago, date palms, succulents, ferns) but now want to venture out and grow vegetables. So thankful for youTube!! I'm now subscribed and ready to learn! :)

[@karenfarmer8709]

Thanks so much for this video! About a decade ago my neighbor inspired me to grow a little garden and he helped me ready my soil with his big tilling machine. I got really lucky and only planted 4 tomato plants (and a few other things) that went hog wild and produced tons of tomatoes from the very beginning of summer until frost, and I was giving tomatoes away to everyone. It was so easy that I was spoiled as I basically just watered and added some Miracle Grow and shazam...more gorgeous tomatoes than I knew what to do with! My neighbor and his machine have since moved away and I was thinking about doing some container tomatoes. I started watching some videos on the topic and this was the best, most informative, and most inspiring one I've found. I'm leaning towards using the smart pots or fabric pots and I'll be buying my plants as it's a bit late to be starting with seeds since I don't even have them yet. Now I'm going to check out your other videos as I'm also thinking of growing some bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes!

[@ScottHead]

I enjoyed this comment, thanks Karen.

[@ralphgrunz7377]

There are hundreds of KZbin videos on growing tomatoes in containers, but yours is one of the best that I have seen. You cover a lot of important things that others just never mentioned. You specifically seem to address the "urban" gardener with limited real estate. There are other good ones, but none better than yours.. Thank You

[@ScottHead]

Wow, thank you!

[@MonsterSoap]

This video is EXACTLY what I needed to watch to give my little tomato plants the best start. I'm a total newb....saw some Better Boy tomato plants at Aldi the other day...no experience growing them whatsoever...got a wild hair and wanted to give it a go. I've been trying to research and watch videos, and yours answered every single question I had (plus some I didn't even know to ask) about starting them. Went out to Home Depot this afternoon and bought everything you recommended, down to to the 20 gallon containers (except mine are red, hehe). THANK YOU! I'm excited to get started. Looking forward to more of your videos.

[@ScottHead]

You then are one of the people I had in mind when I made it. Thank you for the encouraging comment, and best of luck!

[@Montyrico_Outdoors]

how did they turn out?!

[@AtHomeWithCrystalRenee]

I did the exact same thing even down to the same containers, except I bought the same blue ones he has since they matched my other outdoor stuff. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@crystalhayes5342]

I know that this is a couple yrs old but I promised my mother tomatoes for Mother’s Day. Now that I watched this buddy I think I got it covered! Thank you

[@j.b.6855]

I do mainly container gardening so far, and will continue to do so even though I have a big back yard. In my first year I got at least 200 early girl tomatoes off of 6 plants. I used wicking buckets and I really recommend them. It takes all the guess work out of watering. Fill the fill tube with water until it comes out the hole in the bottom bucket. Since your bottom watering it also reduces splashing on your plants. How to make them is all over youtube and all it takes is two 5 gallon buckets, a plastic cup, and a short piece of pvc pipe to make one.

[@braxtonvestal777]

It's wild how much starter plants have gone up over the last 8 years.

[@Mtkrvi06]

Holy crap. Determinant or indeterminate. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I was today years old when I found out the plants had that determination. (See what I did there lmao) This would have saved us so much work over the years as we grew tomatoes. Those plants that grew into monsters and couldn’t be tamed. Now I know how to AVOID those!

[@johnm3310]

Better bush is an awesome way to go.

[@andrea.rivers]

This is an excellent video. I dived into container tomatoes 2 summers ago. I only planted 4 plants (two each of a cherry tomato and a regular sized) I almost couldn't keep up with them. I just chalked it up to an experiment and well... had waaaay more tomatoes than I knew what to do with. lol Learning to water tomatoes was definitely a learning curve. I have full sun in my back yard so it was interesting to say the least. I have the side yard on the west side of my house and I have cement siding. I'm fully tempted to set up my pots up on that side. I think they would like the heat that the siding absorbs. I'm in the PNW, so our summers are not as consistently high heat as the midwest but it's not as wet in the summer as you'd think. I used a larger pot, it's the plastic version of a half a wine barrel. I had decent success. Learned a lot! I didn't grow any in 2020 but I think I'm ready for another challenge. Very informative video.

[@jgmav3842]

Great job explaining everything! Thanks

[@GiveUaKnuckleSandwhich]

Finally rented a place with a little sun and a little space. Spending this summer starting a small garden. Began with a few tomato and pepper seeds and now watching your video on how to transplant them into containers for the rest of their journey. Love your videos! Hope your gardening season is off to a good start!

[@getitright3124]

$11.00 for a 20 gallon pot. I miss those days, 4 years ago. Now, they’re $30-$40 a piece. Bags from here on out! It just ust makes sense for those in small areas and low budgets and the plants will thrive more with oxygen to the roots.

[@scottyeharris5724]

You are an excellent teacher, especially for beginners like me!

[@lindafogarty3924]

Great video, thank-you! I’m enjoying all of your videos!

[@Ms.Byrd68]

Love this channel! I know I am right 'down the street' from you and you have my same environment and available resources so your experience is 'invaluable' to me! Trying both 'determinate' and 'indeterminate' tomatoes this year, along with many other veggies in containers! Have a 'backyard' like you and have beds set out but am not ready to pour dirt in them before I ensure I can indeed grow! Using them to 'contain' my pots, I like that you address Apartment Dwellers, you know MOST people do live in apartments NOT homes! Appreciate your honesty, "Don't be trying to grow no SUN LOVING plants on a balcony that only gets 4 hrs of Sun at best, there are veggies for that, lol! Yeah, I know you didn't say it like that but it's the TRUTH! lol Brother you be blessed!

[@wadebrinson8977]

Scott, you're a pretty smart fellow and I really enjoy your videos. I just wanted to offer a correction to a statement you made. You " don't see a difference between watering the soil before planting as opposed to after"! So here's the difference. Most people are not patient enough to water enough to get the soil soaked through if they are doing it after planting. If done before planting, it can be mixed and turned to ensure it's all wet. Not so with a plant in the mix. It is not a difference if done properly but a difference in doing it properly! Keep up the videos! Love them! Wade

[@gurlmedixruhl]

I've tried to pot garden in the past, and was not successful at it. But I was also not staying on top of it. I'm super excited about my tomato plant this year. I have been giving it appropriate love and attention and it is looking SO gorgeous!!!! I'm glad I watched this, or I would have over-watered it.

[@johnmcdonald1306]

It's amazing that yellow pear tomatoes I grew 10 years ago are now so popular that most stores only sell seeds. I don't know if germinating these tomatoes are difficult as it is hard to find 6" starters .The first time I grew these I loved them for snacking and they yielded enough to give away. Because of there size they look like you should pick them even in a salad up just to taste them. My sister said the yellow pear tomatoes were so much better than standard cherry tomatoes and great for salads and guest who never had them complimented her on them. I will grow one in a 10 gallon container this year. I like better boy and try better bush in my garden for indeterminate variety. Everyone has their own method of grading tomato's which is primarily based on simply taste or how they are using them. I always grew early girl and celebrity for a fast yield but I grew to like the quality of better boy and want to try better bush from what I seen of them as they may be a little larger. I grow with cages but beefsteak and whoppers are just too big and worry from falling of while ripening. their

[@lendonhead4420]

Thank you very much Scott. This video helped a whole lot to show me how to grow dem maters in pots. I have grown a lot of tomatoes in the past when I had my farm in Tolar. I had record crops plowing in cow manure before planting the plants. Now I can do it on a small scale since I have moved to town. Keep up the good work.

[@joannesherwood3562]

I'm not a complete newbie, but it has been about 15 years since I grew my own tomatoes. Also I will be attempting to grow larger, heirloom varieties for the first time. Thanks for the tips, wish me luck! 🍅🤞

[@Magarita810]

Hi Scott, (howdy all the way from London UK)I came across your video as this is my 3rd attempt to grow tomatoes. Sadly I did not understand the feeding process and was feeding my tomatoes plants before their fruit showed themself so they have been dying. I managed to get some more plants. I am a bit wiser, I am starting again, two of the plants already have small fruit. Will check their variety, I do not have aa garden as I live in an apartment. I dd get a garden delight because they was the first one I got which died, so want to see if I can grow it again. Love you video, you explained the process in simple terms. I know this video is old but has been so useful.

[@wmurphy632]

I grow tomatoes from seed. One time I had several that were 2 feet or so before it was warm enough to put outdoors. So I planted them a foot deep. Well, one broke off right at the roots! I said hell with it, stuck it deep in the ground, and babied the hell out of it by watering every day, often twice a day, fertilizer. That stem took hold in the ground and ended up one of my best growers.

[@aliceserna614]

When planting in containers I go ahead and add my stake so as to not disturb roots later. Everything is looking great.

[@MichelleM0704]

I usually do too.

[@dystopiagear6999]

Good point to plan ahead! Sometimes instead of using stakes I just drill a few holes around the top of the container and lash a piece of rabbit fencing or similar to it with zip-ties, creating a reasonably sturdy trellis about 2-3' high. No need to wrap the wire fence all the way around it, leave room open so you can easily reach in there and do whatever's needed. WAY cheaper than buying tomato cages for everything, and it works as well if not better.

[@thomasdesmond2248]

Another inexpensive idea is to buy a 55 gallon plastic food grade drum. Cut it in half then plant in both ends. You can buy on Ebay for $30.00. Makes two pots. God bless

[@dystopiagear6999]

Yes, that's sort of a small raised bed. You can grow quite a lot in each half of that barrel. Some people even cut them into thirds and get three beds that way (the middle one just doesn't have a bottom, obviously). That still gives you over a foot deep in all three containers, and that's *plenty* for crops that fruit above ground. Heck, even most potato farmers don't have topsoil an entire foot deep. (Honestly, many gardeners and experts wayyy over-estimate the amount of soil most veg plants really need...)
