Wow that's a small container for a tomato plant! I usually give peppers 3 gallons each, preferably 5; tomatoes get 10+ gallons. Please let us know how things go as far as watering and harvest!Countryladiesgardens wrote:Thanks! The buckets are 3 gallon
That's about what I thought. Don't feel bad about the size. I have a San Marzano in one that's 10" diameter and 9" deep. I sat it on my black plastic border, right beside in ground San Marzanos. It's bearing fruit and keeping up with the others in height. The soil level is going down in the container so I'll have to add some well finished compost soon. No, I will not get as many tomatoes BUT it's more than I would have had.Countryladiesgardens wrote:Thanks! The buckets are 3 gallon
