Often people who live in small apartments with balconies or in homes with poor soil just give up on the idea of gardening. Tomatoes are a common favorite garden vegetable/fruit. But we often stop and wonder how in the world can you grow full sized tomato plants in a pot? Yes you need a fairly good-sized pot but his can be obtained very easily. Choosing approximately a 25-30 gallon container made of resin, plastic garbage container, durable plastic or wood should work well. Light colored containers are your best choice because in certain hotter climates the darker the container the more heat it absorbs the more likely it will burn the roots. Metal containers are not recommended either because the container will get too hot for good root growth, thus producing toxins and killing the plant. Even if you have a good area for growing tomatoes container planting is a sure way of preventing soil-borne fungal diseases. By using a good soil-less potting mix this provides a virtually sterile environment for your tomatoes. Do not add compost to the pot or rocks …

@picatsoforfma when they say “all at once” it really isn’t like all in 1 week. They will usually produce all their fruit within 4-6 weeks of eachother. You know when the tomato is finished growing “up” when you see flower buds forming at the terminal growing stem. After that it can still grow suckers which will produce buds, which is why you NEVER prune determinate tomatoes.
I grind egg shells in my coffee bean grinder and put them in the garden as dust!
What good is producing all the fruit at once? You can only have home grown tomatos on your burger for a week.
she robly grows a hole bunch fo weed lol
We don’t really have oyster shell available at a retail level in Australia but many people use dolomite at planting to beef up the calcium (and magnesium) in the soil to prevent the blossom end rot.
lack of soil humidity causes the cracks in your tomatoes.
Irregular watering?
Thanks that just might be it. How often would you recommend? I was watering every day.
@Souls4Freedom over-watering cracks them. Try watering less.
Does anyone know what would cause tomato skin to crack. I’m losing many fruits because of this.
Thanks
container work, one of my hot pepper plants grew me $30 worth of food, medicine and weapons last summer.
Yes a tomatoe plant hates smoke.
Depends on how big a tomato plant you want, and how many tomato’s you want from it.
I use 7 gallon (26 litre) pots, but a 5 gallon pot would be a minimum size. The best pots to use for tomato plants are smartpots. Google smartpots, you can buy them very cheaply.
I grow tomatoes in containers on my apartment balcony. I have several varieties and decided to try a heirloom (Brandywine) this year. Unfortunately, my neighbor smokes and it comes right up to my balcony. The heirloom was the only plant to get the tobacco virus. Another good reason to grow a variety. ~Jeri
