    I'm new to gardening and have lots of tomato plants growing in Solo cups, just like I learned from your videos 🙂
    Looking forward to planting outside in pots as soon as it's warm enough outside for the tomatoes.
    Would it sound selfish of me to admit that I'm hoping to win one of Grass Roots fabric pots?
    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.

Here in Alaska it is difficult to grow outside so I grow in a small greenhouse. Last year was tough as it stayed very cold but I did start getting red tomatoes in mid August.

    Brian, thanks as always. Comparing this video with your previous ones for growing tomatoes in pots, I see some subtle changes. Last year, I used bamboo sticks on my indeterminates as a tripod. Four certainly makes sense and would be more stable. I also use a stake outside of the pot that is driven into the ground (my pots are on the ground) and zip tie it to my "cage." That really helped since we are subject to pretty intense winds here on the Navajo Nation.
    With regards to organic potting soil, I have in the past used Black Gold. I like it, but I wonder if I need to use a more "plain" soil since I am going to be amending the soil according to your directions. In other words, since Black Gold has so many things added to it, is that overkill with what I am going to be adding? I fully admit that I may be over thinking things here a bit. Any input from you or the "family" here would be much appreciated!!
    Looking forward to getting started! Our last average frost dates is May 23rd (6500 feet elevation) so I've got time to prepare! Thanks again for the help!

    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).

    I Will use a fabric container to restart container gardening after a 10 year hiatus, I just had trees taken down on the back of the yard and will have some sunlight that I have not had for 10 years. I just like to see veggies grow, it's like magic!

    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 cannot walk out to my husbands raised beds in the back of our yard, due to a knee injury. I tore my meniscus and the ACL. My surgery is next week. I am anticipating a long recovery. So, I got a tomato plant last week and put it in a pot on the deck, but after watching your video, I see now that the pot is not the right size and I need to replace it. I would love to be the one to win a 20 gallon fabric container to enable me to get plenty of the delicious cherry tomatoes that I just pick and eat from the vine. I also use them in all sorts of recipes. Having only one plant in the Grassroots 20 gallon container just outside my kitchen door would be the best blessing ever. Thanks, happy gardening!

    Hi there and thank you for the great video and well explained.
    There is a part that I need to double check with you. It the part that I put the tomato plant on the 1/3 of the new bucket, do I have to still add the 4 ingredients as I top the potting soil and compost every week or so until I reach the 2 inch below the top of the 5 gallon pot.
    ingredients below:
    Gypsum - half of handful
    Epsom Salt - half of handful (careful with this not to exceed and can be not good. Use only one time)
    kelp meal - half of handful
    crab and lobster - half of handful
    Thank you again!

    I live in the Florida panhandle 3 blocks from the beach my yard is sand. So I decided to try some grow pots, before I started educating myself I bought some cheap ones they were black and didn’t look like they would make more then 1 season. After I watched your video and it was spot on I totally get the benefit of the liner. It’s a daily scorcher here and the liner makes perfect sense! So I immediately went and ordered the Grassroots pots. First mistake averted ….thanks for the tip , love your vids

  • @inkybeans
    @inkybeans 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you. Your vids are always so helpful for me. My sister gave me a couple of smaller fabric pots last yr, and my lettuce grew nicely in them. The black ones do dry out pretty fast, so have to keep an eye on em. I would definitely use your fabric pots for my tomatoes, and will use your flipped cage method for the cherry ones! 😊

    This is such helpful information for new gardeners like myself. I have started tomato seedlings using my own potting soil. It's really great that you did a video on container gardening for tomatoes. You explain so clearly and concisely on how to grow tomatoes in containers, specifically the fabric pot type. The tips on the types of tomatoes, determinate or indeterminate and how to trellis, based on that type of tomato, as well as the watering and fertilizing information you provided are fantastic! I started with zero knowledge about gardening and I feel compelled to keep learning as much as I can about gardening. I have learned so much from watching your channel in general. I am so excited to see the transformation from seed to harvest when that time comes that I actually grew something my family can enjoy. I have a small space so container gardening is my best option. Thanks for all your efforts and videos; it is very much appreciated.

The remainder of my garden will probably be Basil, Thyme and Oregano.

    Only one thing missing from this video is a 4th type which are perfect for pots, dwarfs! There’s approximately 150 varieties in the Dwarf Tomato Project, and they grow to around 3 feet but give you tomatoes of all sizes and colours and tastes like heirloom varieties. Unlike determinates they will also produce tomatoes right up until frost 😃

Of course I would drive her back home with it.😊
