As a gardener, I have so much respect for you when I see how healthy and prolific your tomato plants are. I get a good harvest too, but yours are off the charts!
Mine end up dying practically overnight
Thank you! You are kind, but don't be to hard on yourself have been doing it for over 11 years now
i had 20 plants this year, in a 20 foot row. early girl, better boy, marglobes, and a couple cherry tomatoes that came up from last year as volunteers. i'll say i had better production from the ''wild'' cherries that the purebloods i bought in pots. i don't think they were as sweet, but that's from memory. now the others had me eating 12 tomatoes a day for 2.5 months now. i got so many now i just let them rot on the vine. so you don't need the most possible if you get too many to eat from what you planted already. i know, i should can them, but that's a whole 'nother project. i am curious as to how much eating 12 fresh tomatoes everyday does for your blood chemistry/skin. in the past month 2 people commented on how good i look, i never heard that before from anyone.
@@jamesprigioni you really have the most beautiful tomatoes in any garden on youtube
Some grow bananas that way..,????
You can also save your banana peels during the year in a bag in your freezer, and throw a couple in your tomato holes when planting.
I put whole over ripe bananas with egg shells and water in a blender then pour it in a trench around each rose plant and tomato plant,and it makes for the most fruitful and robust tomato plants and tremendous rose plants
I love seeing tuck in the videos. He's a part of the family and needs his 5 minutes of screen time too!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Banana peels work just as well. Compost separately in a bucket covered in soil. You can keep on adding.❤❤❤
I do this too, that way I still get to enjoy the banana in my smoothies! I first ferment the banana peel in water for 3 days, then use that water in the garden. The peel then gets composted or sometimes I get lazy and just chop it up and bury it right next to the plants in the garden.
Yes, all you need is banana peel, you don’t want root rot 🍀
SHARE THIS VIDEO IF YOU ENJOYED IT! 😁🐕❤
Hi James and Tuck. Love Taco❤
do you worry about cross breeding, you take seeds from tomatos right?
Maybe people will share if you answer the questions that post.... that might work!
Hi James, you could bury rotten bananas in your garden any time of year. You could bury them where you know you are gonna plant your tomatoes. 👍
The open mindness to the benefits while still keeping a level of scepticism to your own biases is refreshing and impressive. Great job, those tomatoes look fantastic.
Red wrigglers love bananas and they have nice beneficial castings. They probably played a part in recycling that banana. In fact, if you wanted to start a new worm bin, you could probably take a couple of banana pieces like that, bury them under a layer of leaves for a week or so, come back and you'll find some red wrigglers on the banana. It's the worm equivalent of a hummingbird feeder.
We've been burying Bananas under new Roses since I was tiny....I'm 66 now. 😊
That’s wonderful 😁
Really!? That is interesting, the idea makes sense to me!
66 and... No mention of bananas...
@@wrecktal_seepage what?
I've heard that planting salvias around roses helps with pests too.
If you have a blender, just blend your bananas with peels, add some water and voila...my roses and tomatoes went berserk when I added that banana mush!
This is what I do!
Thanks James. Bananas are one of the best foods to feed your soil. The microbiology in that soil is thriving and you're likely seeing the results of free castings. Your garden is amazing. Job well done as always.
I saw another gardener use bananas to help grow his tomato plants, so I have been using them for not only my tomato plants but also for peppers and squashes and cucumbers. I hope to get healthy prolific plants. We'll see what happens. Love to watch you and Tuck in the garden. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your channel is a true "happy place". You and Tuck make my day every video!
How synchronistic! I love that you made this video. Thanks for including your furry friend. We love to see Tuck in the garden! Blessings to you & yours! 😀
It's funny/weird how most gardeners are aware of the high potassium content of bananas but wouldn't think of burying it under transplants to improve flowering plants until someone shows them?? Thanks for the tip(s), ❤ Tuck, and appreciate you and all the value and inspiration you bring to everyone!
What a wonderful idea! I'm doing that next season. Hearts and hugs for Tuckie Boy!❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗
I love Tuck. Is he doing better? You are an exemplary pet parent. You're both blessed to have each other.
Love seeing The Boss in your videos. They're just not complete without giving props to the Guardian of the Garden. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've been gardening with bananas forever. I compost them, and fertilize my gardens, with them every spring. ❤❤
Earlier this year I decided to create a worm farm since I caught a bunch of warms and decided to create a home for them with a 5 gallon plant pot. At one point I decided to feed them with over-riped bananas and some toss away tomatoes. Summer came around and I noticed an odd looking plant growing out. It didn't look similar to the invasive ones that I usually see in my backyard so I used an app to identify what it is. Turns out I'm growing tomatoes! It's been two months it just keeps growing! Hopefully, I'll have tomatoes by next year?
I have an outdoor composter, ended up with tens of tomato seedlings. Actually had to discard quit a few because I just didn't have any room.
@@ninemoonplanetyou can always plant them in yogurt containers and give them away - that’s what I did. Someone gave me like 80 tomato seedlings and every person I met along the way over the past 2 months I asked them if they’d like to grow some tomatoes. It was an unexpected gift.
Tomatoes are not perennial, so if you get temps anywhere close to freezing you won't get them next year
"Caught a bunch of worms"... that must have been extremely difficult... ha ha ha
@michaeleastham3868 you'd be surprised....if your doing something where your digging a lot, like digging up your yard for sewer reasons, its a good opportunity to grab them. Lots of opportunities to grab them if you know where to look.
Last year I added bananas, alfalfa, and ground up baked eggshells every few weeks to my roses and they were blooming like crazy all season. This year they were much more sporadic and so was I with the fertilizing. I definitely have seen a substantial difference.
LOL... garden myths,,, sorry for your waste of time and energy...
😅😅😅😅😅😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢🎉
Everything you grow in your garden that i have seen is extremely impressive! Your growing tomato trees!!
I tried this in containers a few years back, and it worked like a charm as well. I want to stress that the potting soil was lightly refreshed from the previous season and had worms to help with the bananas decomposition.
Thanks for your posting, Dwight. After seeing James’s video, that was my question. I tried potting tomatoes this year for the first time. They did okay and I’m nit sure what the problem was. I’ll give the banana trick a try. Thank you (and James and Tuck!).
My bucket tomatoes didn’t produce like my raised bed tomatoes
Thanks James for sharing all your knowledge for us to learn. Give Tuck a rub and a hug. He’s awesome.
I don’t normally do this, but wouldn’t it be interesting to pull up the root stock beneath the banana tomato and see whether the banana has completely decomposed over the course of the season?
Hey Team Tuck! Down Under, where I am, I grow large tomatoes during our winter and grow smaller tomatoes during our summer to reduce pest pressure. We also have a saying that goes...If you want to know the best way to make coffee, ice cream, pasta and tomatoes look for a name that ends with a vowel!! I love seeing the little Tuck man and am glad that you mentioned adding the bananas to the compost heap. On that note, do you think you can do an update on your composting process? Cheers! ❤🐕☕🍦♥
🎉🎉🎉🎉. 🎉🎉🎉. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
To the "Tuckster"! 🌟❤...and James, of course. Concepts and tips explained very well. I just fund your channel and am hooked. Thanks.
banana flavored tomatoes. my favorite.
Love seeing natural ways to add nutrients! ❤❤❤❤❤ for the Tuckster
That’s one hell of a tomato plant great job
Planted my tomatoes outside yesterday, added bananas at the bottom and last night the racoons dug them all out and had a feast 😂😂😂
I make a banana peel fertilizer and the tomato plants love it.
What is your recipe??? ❤
I’ll sure try that next Spring!! My tomatoes did well this year. Since I’m not canning my neighbors were glad to receive the overflow.
I save my banana peels in a bag in the freezer. Can either use the peels straight under a plant or dehydrate the peels to use as a powder for a top dressing later in the year. I like the powder better as the critters will dig up the peels under my plants.
What a really cute little dog‼️………Peace be with the 2 of toy and our country 🇺🇸………☮️🥰🌻
I tried electroculture copper wiring on my tomatoes this year, ran one row with and one row without. The outcome sold me, in comparison a huge difference existed. Even the neighbors were amazed.
Help me with copper wiring.I don't know about it.Please help me
@@RichardMoyo-xb4wn just look up electroculture and get yourself a small spool of copper wire and lace it up
@@RichardMoyo-xb4wn copper is naturally anti microbial… so helps with disease resistance. Not sure what else it would help with.
Great stuff brother, I use hard wood ash from my grill to get potash into the soil. This too is a great Idea I also grow Truly Tiny Bananas, I will use end up using the leaf and trunk as a chop and drop. Hoping that helps out in my garden as well
Great job! Beautiful plant! ❤
We love tomatoes and plan to experiment with this the next growing season in our little food Forest! ❤❤❤❤❤ as always for Tuck!!
Very interesting and fun! Thanks James and Tuck 💜💜💜
This is great. I couldn't make it to church Sunday due to health issues so my niece and I watched the stream. It was amazing.
Brah...i havent got an update from you in a grip....your the man sir ! Keep being an exceptional American 🫡 🇺🇸🦅🙏.my aunt always fed her hanging stag horn with nanners...love those plants
Love that Tuck! Love your fun and knowledgeable videos James.
mash overripe bananas, add whatever you want, spread on parchment paper to about 1" or a bit less thick, bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Yum :) I add peanuts, peanut butter powder, cranberries that are dried, and cocoa in any combination.
I will so be doing this come spring. Thanks for the idea!
I just water with banana water. Peels or whole bananas either way. Save peels (let they dry out) and then add them to your garden or water. Barrell of water and just add banana. Keep adding water. The flower production will be overwhelming...but you'll need insects to pollinate sl many blossoms! My 50 plants were heavy in production.
I love watching your Wizardy my friend, thankyou, sending love from Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺
May Light, Love and Wisdom be with all 🙏💚🧙♂️
Your garden is inspiring! Great work and thanks for the great videos.
I've been adding my cracked eggs from my hens to my garden. I use banana peels by drying them in the oven, grind them up and using them as a fertilizer or adding it to water and letting it steep for several days and adding it to more water to use when watering.
Wow it is good South Africa
He’s so sweet ❤️ Love little Tuck!
❤❤❤Love watching harvest his own veggies. Going to give this a try next season.
Good luck to you, the more the merrier especially for out young people grow up, we need to get them outside ❤️🍀
I'm always amazed by your garden and how productive it is. Have you installed irrigation at some point? How do you keep your garden watered?
Wow this is awesome! I am looking forward to trying this natural trick I didn’t get but 2 gallons due to flooding in June it knocked out my tomatos and stunted my bell peppers, my bells never grew higher than 2 ft but have finally started to produce. In spring I will grow in tubs on pallets just incase if I get heavy rains again. Great vid James
Jerzee James & Tuck, your tomatoes are a beautiful color & so productive! My tomatoes & cucumbers were awful this yr! Think all the heat, smoke & lack of normal summer weather created a unhealthy environment! There is always next year! Hope Tuck is doing good with his Yorkie issue! ❤🐾🐾💚
Tuckie's little tongue-tongue is waving at the end❤🧡🖤💜💙🤎💚🤍🖤💙🧡💛💜💙💚💗🧡🤍🤎💜💙💚💖🧡💛🖤
WOW!!!! How great did that turn out!
Thanks for sharing, just makes me want a garden.😊
The beautiful tomatoes plant I have seen. Gratitude love you.
Tuck is so cute. What a trooper he is.
Had to share this. Great video - thank you!
Excellent Presentation
Gorgeous. Beautiful. Good for you.
I had bad bananas like yours.
And I had to plant a Loropetalum. A flowering shrub.
She grew beautifully, and I need to prune it regularly.
I’m not surprised your tomatoes did so well.
Thank you for your time
Thanks for this brilliant idea. I'll try it out next year. Keep em coming!
I'd love to see a video about garden planning with Tuck eating your crops in mind.
Very interesting! Never heard of this but worth trying, thanks for sharing.
Good evening.
DObry pomysl z tymi bananami.Dziekuje.Super.
Beautifull tomatoes - looks like a corner of Paradise 😊
❤️ just love seeing tuck
Love the video. Thanks for the information. Love you Tucker.
Let's Gooo!!! You're welcome, it was a fun video to make!
Banana peels can be placed directly onto pot plant soil, or around the base of your garden as mulch. As they decompose, they will release nutrients into the soil to feed plants. If using banana peels in your garden, place a single layer straight on top of the soil, being sure not to let them touch the plant stem.
Thanks for the info 😊
Thank you and ❤❤❤ for you and Tuck.
This was so interesting.
I've heard you should break an eg in the hole before you plant you tomatoes.
Love you, Tuck! ❤
Love it! Those tomatoes are looking great!!!!!!!
Thanks! Yeah, the plants grew fantastic!
I have used this trick for over 25 years. All the skins and bruised bananas go in. Initially it was for hellebores, which love it, but now go under fruit shrubs. BBC gardeners world did it.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Tuck and James are the best!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤ Tuck is a great worker!
nice video and great idea. We already use them on roses. didnt think about the tomatoes! We get the bananas marked down at the store for like .25/bunch.
Thank you for sharing. Will try bananas on my plants. I love Tuck❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
informative & interestint! Thanks!
Fermenting bananas with brown sugar and applying the juice in a compost tea is also very yummy for the plants
Your garden is amazing.
I have just watched your video on tomato’s! It’s great! Thank you
Someone gave me a box of overripe bananas in June. It was more than I could use. Sadly the extras began to ferment and attract fruit flies so I naturally put the whole box in a large plastic bag and closed the top. A month later the box fell apart inside the bag. Once I was ready to refill my compost bin I dropped that whole box in there and it was soup dejour for the worms. :)
Great job!!!
I love your observations and deductions. You are a great gardener and teacher. And a lot of fun!!!!! Thank you James. Tuck is an all star!❤❤👍👍
Hugs and smooches Tuck !! Thanks for the video James ! That was really interesting!!
Love Tuck and your videos
Wow! Look at the difference!!!
Using the bananas makes sense. Love your video!
Whenever I finish a banana, I cut up and bury the peel (even the stem) in the garden around the base of any plants or as part of a mulch if I can't get to the base of the plants (or if no plant). No need to compost. If you can mix into/bury in the dirt, even better but not easy when the soil is frozen. They usually turn black and blend in within a day or two. By the time I get to planting anything in the spot, it has usually broken down (except for the stem part). You wouldn't believe the insane amounts of "fruit" I get from those spots. Except for the initial kick of nitrogen rich fertilizer at the start of the season and a small amount of bone meal at the start of fruiting, I don't need to add anything else.
Brilliant video! 👍 Those tomatoes look 😋
Good idea 👍 Thank you
Great channel. Very informative and the host is super creative
❤❤❤❤❤ for Tuck Those tomatoes look beautiful I have never had tomatoe plants that tall.
I did the same like you and its really successful, yearly I harvested more tomatoes at the backyard, also I add powdered egg sheel around my tonato plants
Whow thank you for sharing
