Growing Tomatoes In Buckets | Container Gardening



Growing tomatoes in buckets is one way to expand your container gardening skills. Our bucket garden gives us one more way to grow vegetables, and gives us control over the soil and the amendments we use. Our container gardening secret super soil mix is what we use in a tomato bucket and many of our other container garden vegetable buckets. They are drilled for drainage, but in a way that allows also for use as self wicking buckets or self watering buckets. In the past, we have typically grown cherry and paste tomatoes from tomato seed. Today, we will be planting organic store bought tomato plants that were nursery grown. This is how we normally do it, but we are also willing to try about any growing experiment… Come along !

    Great video! Y'all make me laugh. And Tina you should see my hair when I get up in the mornings. I look rough. By the way! I have short hair. But if my hairdresser doesn't get to back to work I'm getting shaggy too. LOL! We live in Arkansas. Thanks!

    Since you did some companion planting I wanted to ask you about your tomato.

    They claim that if you plant borage with it will keep the hornworms away.

    Have you ever heard that or tried it? If it works it would seem easier than hand picking the horn worms off.

    I don't know how big forage gets or if it would really work. What do you think?

    I love Tina’s hair! You look pretty with any hair style my friend! Great job with planting the tomatoes! They will be like new soon! Big hugs 🤗

    Please keep us updated on that poor little tomato plant. And Tina, your hair looks fine. You just need a little trim like the rest of us. ❤️

    If it would've been any worse than it was a tomato survival fund may be needed, lol. Looking forward to see that little plant flourish. Thanks for sharing, Carl and Dawn Homestead

    Poor little Better Boy. You gave it a great makeover and before long we won’t even recognize it as this wimpy little start. I especially appreciate the explanation of the holes in bottom side of bucket and the reason for wood chips.

    Sure is a good video. That sure is a bad looking plant. I planted about three in my garden. Looking forward to the fresh tomatoes. Have a great weekend

    Could a tall as the bucket but more slender container work? Or do toms need 5gal of dirt?
    Thanks!

    Wish we were closer, I'm drowning in tomato starts. Might have been some pandemic anxiety action going on….I have 36 in the first batch of three, and am just getting sprouts of the next round of three…oh well, there's still time for me to kill some before choosing how many I have homes for outside, in raised beds, and buckets and in the ground. Scariest part for me is the trellis concern.

    You let him get away with calling you shaggy🤣🤣. Cant wait to see how your bucket garden turns out. Especially the oakra.

    That little Better Boy has seen better days. If anyone can give it new life, it’s you two. My mom was always good at resurrecting plants from the dead. Will be watching. Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇨🇱🇺🇸👍❤️🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏

    If you do the layers of super soil and fertilizer when filling the container, do you still need to fertilize throughout the season or does that initial planting feed the tomato all season? Thanks!
