I have grown tomatoes and peppers in fabric bags for many years. For "soil", I've found a mix of 1/3 coconut fiber, 1/3 composted manure, and 1/3 good quality bagged potting mix, with a top-dressing of 1" of composted fish waste and bat guano from a bag. I mulch each plant with 1-2" of pine shavings. This setup allows me to grow ANY tomatoes in 5 gallon bags, and peppers in 1 gallon bags with phenomenal success. It's not the quantity of "soil", it's the quality that counts. I start all my plants from seed and exclusively feed them with 1tsp honey, 1tsp active dry yeast, and 1 cup of whole milk diluted in 1 quart of water until they plants blossom, then switch to a composted manure "tea" throughout their lives. I reuse the same soil year after year with only fresh compost added every year to rejuvenate. This works great in Central Lower Michigan. One more thing - dig a hole in the soil and plant the seedlings much deeper than they were in the starting cups. I recommend TWICE as deep. Remove the bottom stems and leaves and cover those stalks. The "hairs will grow into roots and the plants will thrive.

For some reason, on my patio a big Rubbermaid storage container I drilled holes in and made compost in from garden scraps that kills plants makes indeterminate grape tomatoes thrive. A tomato plant grown in that huge container grows much faster and taller than those grown in smaller, more expensive self watering containers. My current Sungold tomato plant I bought at a nursery as a very small plant in May, and now I have topped it at over 7 feet tall. I secure its main stem with a gentle rubber ball tie meant for hanging Christmas lights! It is super easy to adjust as more stems need secured too, or moving it as the plant grows. I just use 3. I use a green sturdy pole I bought at the store meant for this purpose, and was inexpensive and reusable for many years, which is about 8 feet tall. My only issue: Getting the tomatoes to ripen quickly. It is July 22, and the Sungold is still growing the tomatoes and sizing them up, but not ripe yet. The currant tomato in a smaller planter is growing well, but has no tomatoes yet at all. 😢

They're getting like 8 hours of direct sunlight per day and I love imagining the roots in the container becoming more and more vigorous. I'm going to feed them tomorrow with fish fertilizer. People say it stinks. But I think the smell is awesome. That's the kind of smell that guarantees good results. Great vid.

Awesome video and tons of good information as always! ❤ A trick I use with my fabric grow bags is to make a continuous plastic sheeting 'pan' to catch all the rainwater and those nutrients that were washing out. This allows the soil to grab all the moisture it wants and reduces the amount of fertilizing needed. This way my plants have continual access to any moisture they need. You do have to be careful with big rain storms and clear out excessive water. I like to keep it at the one inch mark after heavy storms. If I do need to water, I simply pour the water into the 'pan' which avoids getting the foliage damp and risking molds and mildews.

I sow my tomatoes indoors and gradually pot them on into larger pots until they're big enough for their final pots. In my case spare cut flower buckets from my local store. I just drill plenty of holes into them and they are good for planting. As for feeding, i never did this until the first flower stalk appeared and has set. Maybe I should change that to your recommendation. I usually only use Tomorite liquid fertiliser. Is Seeweed fertiliser good before changing to Tomorite?

pots and containers for tomatoes are potential for problems. The main issue is watering. Tomatoes need a constant water source. If your container dries out - your going to be in trouble. When the plant dries out the fruit cannot access calcium- resulting in end blossom rot. The only way to avoid this is to choose a variety that grows small fruit - or specific type such tiny tim- using a fabric grow bag - sitting in a tray of water. The grow bag has plenty of opportunity for the plant to breathe and the tray acts as a reservoir. If you do this with a normal pot - not a fabric- the plant will be drowning in water.

I noticed that in your greenhouse that the tomato plants have nice open green leaves and look very healthy. I also saw that one or more of the plants outside it full sun have skinny curled leaves and do not look as healthy. I have read that a tomato plant will adjust the amount of UV light it needs for proper photosynthesis by curling it's leaves so my question is: Will a plant inside a greenhouse with huge outspread leaves and a plant in full sun all day with curled leaves produce the same quality and/or quantity of tomato?

100F seems to be the cut-off for proper ripening. 95F and red tomatoes may ripen orange instead, but with no ill effects. When summers get that hot, usually greenhouses aren't the best solutions. Wetting the floors down and running big fans can take the edge off extreme heat though.
