Tomato Bucket System - Setting Up and Planting

in #dtube6 years ago


It's time to get the tomato bucket system set up! I have some very large tomato starts that are begging for a new home so we transplant the tomatoes into 5 gallon buckets and get them ready for the growing season. Follow along with the series and see how I do it! Thanks for watching!

I've never had real success with growing tomato plants in 5 gallon buckets, but I didn't have a watering system for them, so that might have a lot to do with it.
There are several types of tomatoes that I grow every year, as well as trying varieties that I haven't grown before. For paste type tomatoes, I like the good ole Roma variety, and I also really like the Amish Paste tomatoes. One of my favorite non paste type tomatoes is the Black Krimm. They get fairly big and are a lower acid type. I usually also try to grow a couple of Brandywine tomato plants. They're an heirloom type that has large and usually misshapen tomatoes that have good flavor. I use them for canning, they have a lot of juice so you really have to boil them down to make sauce if you wanted to use them for that.

I'm looking forward to hearing some of your tips and tricks. I'm in the process of upgrading from small to medium to large planters.
