Tomato Planter
The tomato plant is one of the the most popular and easiest to grow plant for home gardens. Most people think they do not have the space to grow a tomato garden, or their gardens soil is not proper for gardening. But, there are some good methods for growing tomatos that anybody can use for that perfect luscious ripe red tomato.
Growing tomatos in your containers or planter can be done in a few simple steps.
Choose an appropriate container for the type of tomatos your are planting. Most tomato plants need more space or larger containers. Little cherry tomatos grow about the same as large tomato plants, but if you want to get more production, use a larger planter so they plants grow larger. You can take advantage of this by using a pot bigger than twelve inches. The container should have proper drainage holes, if not, drill 4 or 5 holes inside the container.
Fill the planter with gardening soil and moisture retaining material. Regular soil is not right for container gardens because container gardens lose moisture more quickly.
Add organic manure so the soil is properly prepped for growing or sowing seeds. Or make use of an all-purpose vegetable fertilize, emulsion or compost.
If you decide to grow from seed or buy tomato starters. You can find cheap tomato seed or starters on the web. Merchants will package the plants with moisture to keep them ready for planting. Of course local nurseries will have them as well. But if they stocked early, an early frost can kill the plant.
Keep the tomato vegetables well watered throughout warmer several days, however keeping tomato plant's foliage too wet, as this can increase the probability of mold and disbursing ailments within the soil for the leaves. Rather, just water the soil directly while using hose.
Stake the tomato veggies up once they achieve a height from the ft or maybe more. Some tomato vegetables, however, may need staking depending on which type of tomato vegetables they're. Some tomato plants will grow like a vine and trellis can be used instead of stakes. Staking prevents them from falling over.
Harvest tomato when they have matured. Most tomatos become a vibrant orange when they are ready to harvest. Read more about these tips in our tomato growers library.

Grow your tomatoes upside down with this tomato planter. Allows one to harvest fruit without bending over.
I am thinking of purchasing the topsy turvy tomato planter. I have seen in advertised on TV a lot, but I am not 100% convinced the product really works. I would like some feedback on the item from current/previous used of this item before I actually purchase. It seems like the plants would be to heavy and end up falling out, and I don't want to throw my money away. Thanks! All feedback appreciated.
A I haven't used one but this is my opinion. I think it's just the latest 'ooh aah' product on the garden market. If you want tomatoes in a planter save your $10 and buy good size pots and quality potting soil. I have some large plastic pots I purchased at Wal-Mart for about $8 and my tomato plants are about 5' high now. Try growing plants like that in an upside down plastic bag... And this fall when tomatoes are gone I can plant some mums, next spring I can stabilize new tree saplings, more tomatoes next summer etc, etc in the same pots.
I just bought two of these things and planted my tomatoes in them. Would like to hear about the successes or failures of these types of planters.
A We just got one this spring to see how it performed vs. a container grown tomato. We'll be posting an update on our website on the experiment in the next week or so.
