I never liked tomatoes until this year when I grew a couple of pink Brandywine plants Now I’m completely obsessed! 🍅 😋
Comment from : Joyful in Hope

I use two 5 gallon bucket system One with holes for drainage and the second bucket has no holes and what I do I place the drainage bucket into another bucket I have gravel on the bottom of the bucket in the second bucket and it self water itself all the time Ive grown tomato plants up to 6 feet and I learned this no leaf growing from your other video and works fantastic I harvest close to 2000 cherry tomatos last year Got lots of tomato sauce and tomato powder

You only talked about when it’s a baby What do you do when it grows taller? Do you keep adding more soil around the edges? Doesn’t really say much

Thank you Brian for sharing your gardening expertise on growing tomatoes in containers, pots or buckets, didn't know about Rock phosphate or the epsom salts added but I did know about adding crushed egg shells and a british guy I'm subbed to recommends using our pee as fertilizer, obvious watered down, being for each part pee,10 parts water, and since he tells us that the pee has the usual nitrogen-phosphate-potassium base that most veggies and flowers require what's your take on using watered down pee? Thank you for sharing, heeding your sage advice with two purple tomatoe heirloom plants I have in red dixie cups that are yearning to be transplanted to a bigger area🙂👍

Could we use normal cotton balls for the first step (for retaining moisture) ? 😮

Does this method of filling the pot as the tomato grow work for determinate plants also, or mainly indeterminate?
Comment from : Paul Dzielinski

what a good doggie
Comment from : Jess Mc

Interesting that you're filling the buckets only 1/3 of the way up Other folks tend to add a bunch more soil than you per bucketbrbrUpdate: I see the value now of only filling a bucket 1/3 with soil: Protection from wind! I've always had issues with seedlings getting destroyed by the wind The buckets are able to deflect the wind, protecting the plants inside I haven't noticed any issues with sunlight either in case people were worried about the buckets over-shading the plants My tomatoes are growing just fine using this method :)
Comment from : Atomic Burrito

I am brand new to gardening I’m going to try tomatoes I was wondering if All the items that you said to incorporate into the soil before sticking your plant in the soil My question is do I only do this once? Do I need to put more nutrients in while the plant is growing?brAlso, I I change my mind from doing the bucket, can I follow this recipe for tomatoes growing just in ground soil?

when i was a baby my family used coconut husks as a nappy on me an clothed me in old potato sacks would coconut husk be ok to soak up water? An could use potato sacks to grow them in?
Comment from : The Aussie

I've used a product called Cal-Mag to add to my watering every few times or so as I felt it might be needed
Comment from : Doug Baska

I read that tomatoes like acid, so i was wo dering if i can use acid soil for Rhododendrons and azaelas? I have some cactus soil and was going to add that to help make the soil drain better Wanted to mix both of those with 420 spil and organic potting mix All these i bought bagged from a horticulture center and they are potting soils? Can i get away with this wothout putting perlite or gravel in bottom and olease answer my question about azalea potting soil? If i should add it?

Have you ever used Water and hydrogen peroxide for disease control
Comment from : Bryan Davisson

Hi Brian; I've been quietly following you for years I was immediately impressed by your ability to stay on topic which kept me tuned in I also love your solid advice which I have found to be right on and works for me just like you said I now have twelve grow boxes which I built and incorporated many of your recommendations I made them deep, drip watered and even built in liquid fertilizing With your process of string support on indeterminate plants, I used steel conduit to create nice loops eight feet high over each box and used overhead struts to support the string winders My tall telephone pole beans grew over the top It was my biggest crop in Idaho, of tomatoes, green beans, peas and cucumbers ever My growing season (5) is only half as long as yours so I will stay close by to continue getting the most out of my crops by following a leader in the garden world Thank you🍅

I noticed the gypsum you are using is in a powder form I have it looks like a granular gypsum Would that be okay to use?
Comment from : Bette DelGrosso

I have enough space to grow tomatoes in my yard but I want them on my deck so they do not get devoured by local wildlife

Hi Brian, this is my first time growing tomatoes Thank you for all your advice I followed all the steps in this video I'm in 4 weeks in now & the tomato plant has tons of leaves & stretching to the edge of the container & some of the top leaves are twisting Should I worry?
Comment from : Erika Gomez

Did you drill holes on the bottom of the bucket? If so what size drill bit did you use or does it not really matter as long as it's not too wide?
Comment from : Scott B

You say tomayto and I say tomartoHandy tips - I grow in planter pots and this was handy - thanks!
Comment from : Robert De LGF

For containers, I have had great success with fabric grow bags and recommend using them over traditional containers that you have to drill holes in to drain water out of The bags also allow plant roots to breathe and not encircle

What if someone wanted to start with seed?
Comment from : Dan Marinkovich

Hi Brian! Great info! I’m getting ready to plant my tomatoes, I knew I needed calcium and have baked and crushed egg shells to use, also bought bone meal, I figure the nutrients from the egg shells take some time to be available for the plants to be absorbed, I didn’t know about gypsum , should I use some of that too or will it be to much and hurt the plants, please advise, thank you!

Thanks for sharing I'm a beginner and this has helped greatly
Comment from : Bosslady 1

The problem I have is the kind of soil we have here at home, I'm in South Africa by the way BUT we have had a tomatoe plant last year that produced many tomatoes some were big some were small, we have a place were we throw potato peals, egg shells, banana peels etc so this is how our tomatoe grewwe threw it there I want to plant again
Comment from : Camagu Ncoso

Can I do this in 5 gallon smart pots? Would they dry out too quick?
Comment from : 10toothweasel

I’m excited to give my first try at tomatoes this year I have a balcony garden and use buckets This is great information Should I add more fertilizing nutrients with the addition of soil layers?
Comment from : Simone M

Why no discussion about saucers for containers to help keep things watered in the Summer?
Comment from : Ikiru Yamamoto

I bury chunks of wood for water retention and nutrition but it takes a couple of years for the wood to become spongy Never thought about diaper material The diaper would make the dirt unrecyclable, wouldn't it? I prefer to rotate my dirt through my county's yard waste program so I'm getting healthy soil

Do you think it would be safe to spray paint the outside of the bucket as long as I didn’t spray the inside?
Comment from : Tia H

Update on message below After two months, BER has stopped, but the tomatoes although many, are only the size of a golf ball
Comment from : tim

Hi Brian, What do you do when your tomatoes are showing blossom end rot and you've already planted the tomato plant and it's grown tremendously? I have plum tomatoes which are very prolific but I'm starting to see blossom end rot How do I treat that if I've already established the plant?
Comment from : Michele Beasley

Thankou for this I've just started growing in the garden with my grandson he's going to love thisas in in Scotland we really need a green house as our weather isn't the best for growing tomatoes peppers and cucumbers so I put 4 large canes about 2n a half metres tall and put them in soil add large clear plastic bag over the top and I have my bucket green housesubbed

What about gypsum from scrap drywall?
Comment from : Chris Moeser

Why just one third full pot, why not 3/4 so roots have space to grow?
Comment from : Smeller7

Do those polymers ever break down to organic matter?
Comment from : Great Sewing

I followed your suggestions to the tee while planting in a grow bag this year All the ingredients listed in the videoEven ones I had to order online Everything was good until I noticed Blossom end rot on the tomatoes I ordered a Arkansas Traveler plant because I read it was a good choice for hot climates ( I'm in So Cal) Now this It's a lot of work for no results Can you give me some advice? Thanks
Comment from : tim

I have used earth worm castings and bone meal so far, was thinking of getting foxfarm calcium and magnesium fertilizer for my tomatoes and hollyhocks
Comment from : Jbird

Don't you need more soil than a third of a bucket for tomatoes???

I bought gypsum for my tomatoes but the bag says “ not for human consumption “ did I get the wrong kind?
Comment from : Dona Sullivam

Great video Brian, very helpful Thanks so much Your the master
Comment from : Ernie Flynn

I’m afraid I may have waited too long to plant my tomato plants I bought them a little over 3 weeks ago and the Better Boy tomatoes are already taller than my 5 gallon buckets!! I was very slow in getting my materials together and now don’t have any of the products suggested in this video Actually, I communicated with our Cooperative Extension Master Gardener and he said tomatoes need good drainage because they don’t like to be too wet I’m really confused now!! Help!!

Thank you for a wonderful video I always use white buckets that were used for food preparation for planting It reflects the sun
Comment from : Judy Pierce

Is that all the soil that you need to put into the 5 gal container? Or did I miss something?
Comment from : MamontEagle

Why do you use gypsum rather than doling which contains both calcium and magnesium
Comment from : Roy Briggs

Powdered Kelp is great at covering most of this
Comment from : Nomadis Mileseeker

do you keep adding soil as the plant grows? It's planted fairly deep in that bucket
Comment from : Homeful T
