    I use multiple 'potting' methods. My favorite is planting tomatoes in a 32 gal trash can. NO BENDING! Holds more water. I drilled multiple hols for drainage and air.
    I think that when using Epsom salts you get too much magnesium buildup.
    No one talks about the sulfur component of the Epsom salts.
    I theorize that plants and microbes are consuming the sulfur and leaving most of the magnesium.
    A simple bed sheet can work as a sun block/shade.
    I took laundry baskets (dollar store ones).
    Inverted one, covered with weed block, inverted the other and places it on top.
    Then flip it over and trim the excess.
    I just made a 7 gal air pruning pot.
    I then take a clean, unused oil change pan, round one, and place that basket in it.
    I just made a subirrigated air pruning pot. All for about $5.
    I am using Fox Farms potting soil with chopped fall leaves mixed in.
    I also add in some bone meal (1/4 cup), small handful of sulfur, and a spoonful of Azomite. I also mix in about 10% used coffee grounds and organic tomato fertilizer.
    After a plant gets situated, I only water from below as needed.
    I train them on cattle panel.
    This works for Watermelons too but you need pantyhose to support the heavy melons on the panel.
    That works with 5 gal buckets too (be sure of drainage).
    I have several canvas grow bags. Yes they do dry out quickly.
    So, I take a long neck GLASS wine bottle, fill with water, invert it, then shove it in the soil.
    PLASTIC DOES NOT WORK FOR THIS.
    Sun heats the bottle and forces water out. At night when it cools, the vacuum created draws air back in.
    For inground, I use a 5 gal plastic refillable water bottle, the EXPENSIVE kind you pay to refill for a dispenser.
    I toss in 2 orange ping pong balls, fill with water, invert, and shove int he ground about 12" away from the tomato plant.
    I can also mix in water soluble fertilizer if needed.
    Reason for the orange ping pong balls is that 1: much easier to see water level from a distance, 2 less algae issues.
    This year I am trying a custom made sub irrigation planter. No idea how well that will work.
    People might want to look up garden Ollas. Those can help with some plants but not thirsty ones.
    Fun fact: crawling insects usually cannot swim.
    Most flying insects will not cross open water.
    Epsom Salts deter Raccoons. Bothers their lungs from what I hear.
    Coffee grounds can help deter cats.
    I shiny pinwheel can deter birds from pecking or eating your produce (strawberries in particular).

    BTW - Agree that non-organic tomatoes from the store are blah! I grew up not liking tomatoes until in recent years a friend handed me a fresh picked one from her garden. OMG! So that's what a tomato is supposed to taste like? No wonder I had never liked them before, but I love organic ones now and my toddler granson eats the cherry/grape sized ones by the handfulls, so I've got to grow lots of them.

    First, another terrific how to video Brian ... thank you! I am responding to your statement starting at 19:50 about not pruning CHERRY tomato plants. First letting you know I live in Richmond, Va. Here I plant in mid-April and can harvest into late September. I grew two (2) Super Sweet 100 cherry tomato plants that produced an incredible amount of tomatoes, BUT I ran into a major problem with them in August. I followed your advice on NOT PRUNING OFF SUCKERS, which resulted in the plants becoming so thick with branches and leaves, that they developed disease (blight) that I could not stop and led to the plant dying. That said, Brian I am interested in what you (or anyone else on this thread) recommends doing to minimize or prevent the disease situation I mentioned. Thank you!

      Sweet 100s are indeterminate so I think you have to prune them. I just asked him a similar question. He says not to prune cherry tomatoes because they’re determinate but not all of them are. Even romas come in both determinate and indeterminate. So that gets a little confusing.

    I have started so many tomato seed this year, I got carried away, I'm really over run, but I want every one of them to succeed. I will be planting tomatoes everywhere I can. These pots seam like a great thing and I am excited to try them. I love your videos and learn so much from them. Thanks for all the great into and helping everyone to be successful.

    Hi Bryan. You provide just great basic information I’m not hearing any place else, and good tricks to use that aren’t so difficult for an old lady like me to put together. These bags sound great! I’m gonna buy at least a couple to get started with for my tomatoes along with some of your hooks. This combination looks like it should do the trick for me. But I need more than just a couple as I’ve purchased several types of tomatoes that are recommended for my region, zone 8a, to determine which I’m gonna like best for slicing, sales and pastas! I’m so anxious to learn about them this year! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us Bryan. I pray your garden prospers abundantly.

    • @janetc5417
      @janetc5417 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I meant salads, not sales. Although, if this works out I would like to supplement my income at the farmers market with organic , tasty tomatoes. Store bought ones are terrible and I’m afraid a lot of people don’t even know what a good tomato is supposed to taste like. My mouth is already watering for one! lol

    I watched your videos last year to help get me started in growing veggies in containers. You told me about sun gold tomatoes and, boy, those were the best tomatoes. We are in PA and picked our last sun gold in November, believe it or not! This year I plan to grow in containers again. Looking forward to learning from you again this year!

    Hi, I am a beginner gardener. I have watched and subscribed to many gardening TH-cam sponsors to get the best tips on gardening. I have learned a lot from your reel. Thank you for explaining how to trellis and which tomato plants to prune. This will help me a great deal! You are thorough and not wordy in your instructions. 😊

    Have always grown most of my vegetables in pots since I live in a city and have very little land. Started watching your videos several months ago and have learned so much. Air pruning in fabric pots makes so much sense. Going to try them this year. Total revelation using the tomato cages watching this video! Thank you.

    I’m so happy I found your channel! I started seedlings and have bought tomato and pepper plants at the Farmers market to start a container garden on our apartment patio. I have learned so much watching your videos, and these containers would be perfect with the all day sun exposure that we receive. I am honestly shocked ( newbie here) by how there’s sooo much more to container gardening than sticking plants in a pot or container filled with potting soil and watering them!! Thank you for helping us new gardeners hopefully have a successful crop come the end of summer ❣️I am so very excited to do this !!

I would use these pots to grow cherry tomatoes since we are still building our new garden & this would provide more space for me to utilize the garden for other plants. Thank you for posting! I have been sharing all these videos with my Aunt & sister in law who are avid gardeners!!

    Glad I found you. My garden adventures have evolved over the years, but I am learning more from you than I have learned in the past. I love fabric pots, but never had luck with tomatoes. So excited to learn more about these pots. I am hoping to have tomatoes, cucumber and some peppers in pots this year. Also starting Ginger and Turmeric right now. The remainder of my garden will probably be Basil, Thyme and Oregano.

    Howdy from Houston! I just found you a week ago and have been binge watching ever since. Your book will be here tomorrow and I can't wait. So informative! I just bought a bunch of the black grow bags to try my fall garden in this year, but I definitely have concerns about moisture retention in this Houston heat. These lined tan grow bags are a revelation and I can't wait to try some in the spring for tomatoes. Thanks for sharing such valuable knowledge with all of us!

    I took all your advice, buying the Grassroots Fabric pots, using container soil and fertilizing regularly. And I have been enjoying BL&Ts for the last several weeks now. I planted an heirloom tomato, Brandywine and a regular, Beefy Boy. My Brandywine tastes just like it was grown in my garden. So sweet and delicious! Thanks for all your advice! It has paid off for me!

    Thank you so much for all the information. Every year I get blossom end rot. I’m learning through you and bought all the items you suggested. Hope I have a great tomato crop as I have 50, yes 50 that grew from seed ( my first time) because I watched your videos and they are doing wonderful. Grow bags for me are very much needed as I have literally no place in my yard that gets 6-8 hours of sun. So I move the bags. At 64 years old it’s vital.

    Thank you for the video on these new bags. I have not used them before and will try them this season. I saved some seeds from a cherry Tomato plant my dad planted last spring when he was very I’ll with cancer. He passed away at the end of May and never saw the fruits of his labor. That was the biggest tomato plant I have ever seen! I was so hoping some of the seeds would sprout. I wasn’t sure that I did the collection correctly. But they have sprouted and I want to keep a couple of them outside my back door. I’m super excited to see how they grow and if they even compare to my dad‘s plant last year. Keeping my fingers crossed!

    I dont have any fabric pots, so making due with large containers that I can find at reasonable price. So my one pot topples over easy. I put my stake in the ground then pushed the pot with tomato cage beside the steak and fastened the cage to the stake. This is keeping it upright pretty well. Love your videos. I think I have watched most of them. I binge watch every few days.

  • @imaginecastles
    @imaginecastles 2 ปีที่แล้ว

I have a small backyard with very heavy clay soil and not so good drainage. So planting in pots is my best choice. I am going to get some of these well thought out fabric pots! Great video and timing on tomatoes! Sure would be nice to win a pot. Thank you for your alway great educational videos, never to old to learn something new. At age 74 I am still learning how to be a better gardener from helpful and kind people like you. Thank you for another great video.

    I have already planted my tomatoes in 20 gallon grow bags. We are retired and live in a smaller condo. I don't have much room, but all of my veges are in grow bags. I set them in the back and then plant flowers in front of the bags. In Ohio, it gets humid and rains some in summer. I keep an eye on the pots, inserting my finger to test for moisture. I have learned so much from you. I am 74 years young and will never stop growing things. Thank you for all of your knowledge and for sharing it with us!
