When you think of tomatoes ,
you probably think about nice healthy soil, maybe trellises or stakes,
and maybe, I don't know, hardy heirloom seeds. What probably does not
come to mind right away is a BUCKET
Who knew, but a simple plastic garbage can OR BUCKET could be the secret to
growing a garden tomato crop with the most voluptuous fruits and leaves
that you have ever grown. . Do you want to know the secret? OK, I'll tell you.
Started by buying a small, round, plastic bucket , drill holes in it
around the
bottom rim, and "a second row up about ten inches." Bury the
wastebasket so that the second row of holes are just above the ground.
FILL the bucket with two large shovels-full of compost top with hay or
straw.
PLANT four tomato plants around the bucket , and put up a round
tomato cage around them. Every two days, Fill up the little Bucket with water. Easy, eh?
