Planting tomatoes is about as fun as it gets.

I have grown tomatoes and peppers in fabric bags for many years. For "soil", I've found a mix of 1/3 coconut fiber, 1/3 composted manure, and 1/3 good quality bagged potting mix, with a top-dressing of 1" of composted fish waste and bat guano from a bag. I mulch each plant with 1-2" of pine shavings. This setup allows me to grow ANY tomatoes in 5 gallon bags, and peppers in 1 gallon bags with phenomenal success. It's not the quantity of "soil", it's the quality that counts. I start all my plants from seed and exclusively feed them with 1tsp honey, 1tsp active dry yeast, and 1 cup of whole milk diluted in 1 quart of water until they plants blossom, then switch to a composted manure "tea" throughout their lives. I reuse the same soil year after year with only fresh compost added every year to rejuvenate. This works great in Central Lower Michigan.

Going to be planting this evening. Have 3 new metal raised beds to go with my grow bags. Can’t wait for some fresh tomatoes 🍅 🥰🍅

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP! MY BEEFSTEAKS I BELIEVE HAVE EITHER PSEUDOMANAS CORRUGATA OR PITH NECROSIS! ..I've lost 5 out of 8 so far! Black rot spots, and when I prune the dead branches the stems are completely hollowed out! Need help how to combat this! It's the only bed having this issue ,my cherry tomatoes are healthy in a different bed. Soil is all same throughout the garden... please make a video on this !

A few years ago my neighbor did something to ruin all of his garden crops. Everything he planted came out bitter like poison. I mean you could take one bite of a cucumber or bell paper and have to spit it out because it puckered your mouth. He never admitted to doing anything and I have no idea what could cause this. Do you know what could do this?

[@dmick9168]

pots and containers for tomatoes are potential for problems. The main issue is watering. Tomatoes need a constant water source. If your container dries out - your going to be in trouble. When the plant dries out the fruit cannot access calcium- resulting in end blossom rot. The only way to avoid this is to choose a variety that grows small fruit - or specific type such tiny tim- using a fabric grow bag - sitting in a tray of water. The grow bag has plenty of opportunity for the plant to breathe and the tray acts as a reservoir. If you do this with a normal pot - not a fabric- the plant will be drowning in water.

I noticed that in your greenhouse that the tomato plants have nice open green leaves and look very healthy. I also saw that one or more of the plants outside it full sun have skinny curled leaves and do not look as healthy. I have read that a tomato plant will adjust the amount of UV light it needs for proper photosynthesis by curling it's leaves so my question is: Will a plant inside a greenhouse with huge outspread leaves and a plant in full sun all day with curled leaves produce the same quality and/or quantity of tomato?

it rained for 2 months and all my garlic dies. carrots made it. tomato survived. pigs got my corn. potato's turned into a 10ft vine. all in all, decent. Thanks for the vids mate. But yeah the garlic I was sad to see go

[@yoshi04cgn]

Good video. I'm currently over run by cherry tomatoes about over 30 plants with tons of clones. They love to be deep in the pot. Zone 7 here I started indoors in February

Soil, the single biggest reason why I grow in above ground planters. My soil is clay, 2 feet thick. Lawn does ok, some trees but not much else. I have been at this house 24 years and have a compost bin and grow organically. Today ( 102F ) I picked 3 pounds of tomatoes from 12 plants. this is a standard yield for me every 2 days in summer. Thanks for the video.

[@user-xb7sj2uk4u]

I sow my tomatoes indoors and gradually pot them on into larger pots until they're big enough for their final pots. In my case spare cut flower buckets from my local store. I just drill plenty of holes into them and they are good for planting. As for feeding, i never did this until the first flower stalk appeared and has set. Maybe I should change that to your recommendation. I usually only use Tomorite liquid fertiliser. Is Seeweed fertiliser good before changing to Tomorite?

For some reason, on my patio a big Rubbermaid storage container I drilled holes in and made compost in from garden scraps that kills plants makes indeterminate grape tomatoes thrive. A tomato plant grown in that huge container grows much faster and taller than those grown in smaller, more expensive self watering containers. My current Sungold tomato plant I bought at a nursery as a very small plant in May, and now I have topped it at over 7 feet tall. I secure its main stem with a gentle rubber ball tie meant for hanging Christmas lights! It is super easy to adjust as more stems need secured too, or moving it as the plant grows. I just use 3. I use a green sturdy pole I bought at the store meant for this purpose, and was inexpensive and reusable for many years, which is about 8 feet tall.

Well done!! Really well done-best basic tutorial on tomatoes in containers that I seen

[@Maggie-eq4cd]

Thank you once again Jeff. I so enjoy your videos. This information is so helpful as I only use fabric containers same as the type you show here. Your expertise is great. Fingers crossed we get some fruit. It's rained so much thus season, but the up side is the rain water. The video you did on rain water was excellent. Take care Maggie UK
