Great planting advice for our new tomato plants...I saw this after planting but looks like I did it right! Can't wait to have the first harvest. So far, they're doing well in their new home and have tomatoes on the way.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
What type of soil do you use in your 5 Gal. Buckets & do you put drain holes ???
Have tried for years. Get healthy plants but get no fruit. Ever! Use potting soil IN pots. Live in Texas. Get morning sun. Use miracle grow occasionally. So what’s up?
Sandra Endress mentioned 5 gal. Pots, but you never said what theRIGHT container is!! Did I miss something?
