For the record

When I planted my tomatoes last month, I forgot to post it. My toms are now thriving, so i want to make sure the same steps are repeated.
  • I started by cutting a 2-in. hole cut in the bottom of my 5-gal. buckets.
  • Carefully push the leaves of the tomato starter through the hole, leaving the root ball inside the bucket.
  • Pack spanish moss around the root ball to help with drainage...about 3 inches deep.
  • Fill bucket with good potting soil / compost mixture to within 3 inches of top
  • Water daily
  • Eat tomatoes
