Here in Alaska it is difficult to grow outside so I grow in a small greenhouse. Last year was tough as it stayed very cold but I did start getting red tomatoes in mid August. I’ll bet these pots would be good for potatoes as well. I learn something from every video. Thanks Dick Soldotna, AK

    BTW - Agree that non-organic tomatoes from the store are blah! I grew up not liking tomatoes until in recent years a friend handed me a fresh picked one from her garden. OMG! So that's what a tomato is supposed to taste like? No wonder I had never liked them before, but I love organic ones now and my toddler granson eats the cherry/grape sized ones by the handfulls, so I've got to grow lots of them.

    @markhaynes9442 Před 2 lety +3

    Brian, thanks as always. Comparing this video with your previous ones for growing tomatoes in pots, I see some subtle changes. Last year, I used bamboo sticks on my indeterminates as a tripod. Four certainly makes sense and would be more stable. I also use a stake outside of the pot that is driven into the ground (my pots are on the ground) and zip tie it to my "cage." That really helped since we are subject to pretty intense winds here on the Navajo Nation.
    With regards to organic potting soil, I have in the past used Black Gold. I like it, but I wonder if I need to use a more "plain" soil since I am going to be amending the soil according to your directions. In other words, since Black Gold has so many things added to it, is that overkill with what I am going to be adding? I fully admit that I may be over thinking things here a bit. Any input from you or the "family" here would be much appreciated!!
    Looking forward to getting started! Our last average frost dates is May 23rd (6500 feet elevation) so I've got time to prepare! Thanks again for the help!

Thank you for helping us new gardeners hopefully have a successful crop come the end of summer ❣️I am so very excited to do this !!

    Thank you for this video. I've learned so much about growing tomatoes in pots. Also I was thinking of buying the black bags but you've educated me about that too. Hopefully your tips will give me healthy beautiful tomatoes this season.

    I stumbled across this channel & am so grateful I did as I am learning SO much!!! I would use these pots to grow cherry tomatoes since we are still building our new garden & this would provide more space for me to utilize the garden for other plants. Thank you for posting! I have been sharing all these videos with my Aunt & sister in law who are avid gardeners!!

    I love watching your CZcams videos because they are helping me so much! I could really benefit from these fabric pots. My husband and I moved to a duplex with a very small garden bed. Most of our small yard is in nearly full shade so I'll need to put growing pots on the driveway!!! These would be perfect for that and look nice, too! Thanks for all the great growing lessons!

    Glad I found you. My garden adventures have evolved over the years, but I am learning more from you than I have learned in the past. I love fabric pots, but never had luck with tomatoes. So excited to learn more about these pots. I am hoping to have tomatoes, cucumber and some peppers in pots this year. Also starting Ginger and Turmeric right now. The remainder of my garden will probably be Basil, Thyme and Oregano.

    Hi, I am a beginner gardener. I have watched and subscribed to many gardening CZcams sponsors to get the best tips on gardening. I have learned a lot from your reel. Thank you for explaining how to trellis and which tomato plants to prune. This will help me a great deal! You are thorough and not wordy in your instructions. 😊

    I have never seen the fabric pots advertised anywhere. I am quite anxious to try them out for my tomato gardening. I will also be using the tips that I learned here today. I have some seedlings that are ready to be potted. Watching this video and having the fabric pots is perfect timing!!

  • @songsforthemaster
    @songsforthemaster Před 2 lety

    This is awesome, detailed info. As always, thanks so much Brian❣️ I really appreciate all the great tips. They always help me to improve and expand my garden. I use fabric pots to grow garbanzos, greens and tomatoes, so far. Being vegetarian I’m looking forward to growing many other veggies in the fabric pots. 🥰 May God continue to bless you and your family as you share your much needed talents with others like me. 😁 I live in PA so I probably would need to use the regular fabric pots.

    @maureenkelly8616 Před 2 lety

    This is such helpful information for new gardeners like myself. I have started tomato seedlings using my own potting soil. It's really great that you did a video on container gardening for tomatoes. You explain so clearly and concisely on how to grow tomatoes in containers, specifically the fabric pot type. The tips on the types of tomatoes, determinate or indeterminate and how to trellis, based on that type of tomato, as well as the watering and fertilizing information you provided are fantastic! I started with zero knowledge about gardening and I feel compelled to keep learning as much as I can about gardening. I have learned so much from watching your channel in general. I am so excited to see the transformation from seed to harvest when that time comes that I actually grew something my family can enjoy. I have a small space so container gardening is my best option. Thanks for all your efforts and videos; it is very much appreciated.

  • @katandak
    @katandak Před 2 lety

    Love your simplistic (not afraid to go against the norm) description of your growing methods. Love your off the cuff comments too. Great grow bag. I will like to grow in it. It makes sense. Keep up the good work.

    So enjoying both your channels! We also recently moved, but went from 1/3 acre (over 40 yrs) to small plot. Gophers are a huge issue here, so grow bags are my only option! Thanks for your tips, tricks, and humble honesty!

    • @jodimoss1406

    I enjoy watching your videos. I've learned a lot about growing tomatoes. This was my first year growing tomatoes and I grew them in five-gallon buckets (I grew two plants). I didn't know what I was doing. I only harvested eight tomatoes total. I'm looking forward to growing more tomatoes next spring and I will apply what I've learned from your videos. Keep making the fantastic learning tools for beginners like me.

  • @inkybeans
    @inkybeans Před 2 lety

    Thank you. Your vids are always so helpful for me. My sister gave me a couple of smaller fabric pots last yr, and my lettuce grew nicely in them. The black ones do dry out pretty fast, so have to keep an eye on em. I would definitely use your fabric pots for my tomatoes, and will use your flipped cage method for the cherry ones! 😊

  • @shannonsaiz6952

    We really want the fabric pots to grow our tomatoes in. We have been trying to grow tomatoes in 5 gallon buckets for 3 years now without much success. After researching fabric pots, we can't wait to try them. We have been following you for a couple of years now and really, really appreciate all the wonderful teaching and help you give. Also, love all the links you provide. ❤️

    I'm going to use the Grass Roots fabric pot for sunburst cherry tomatoes. I tried them last year and now they're my favorite cherry. Thank you for your expertise. My container garden has improved greatly since I've been watching your videos and following your advice. Thanks!

  • @TheProdigalGardener
    @TheProdigalGardener Před 2 lety

    First off I love your videos. I have been gardening for 6 years and I still have so much to learn. Your videos are inspiring and I really learn a lot from them. This season I’m trying corn in fabric pots you are correct about the air pockets! I have to water them so much and corn is already a thirsty plant. I wish I would’ve had these containers for them. I bought your hooks and built the raised bed stand for my tomatoes. First year giving your string method a go. I’m excited to see how they grow about. The majority of my garden is fabric pots and after this video I’m in love with those pots 😍. I would love to try zucchini in them I had so many germinate this season and I wasn’t prepared so they need homes. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us you are appreciated!

    I have started so many tomato seed this year, I got carried away, I'm really over run, but I want every one of them to succeed. I will be planting tomatoes everywhere I can. These pots seam like a great thing and I am excited to try them. I love your videos and learn so much from them. Thanks for all the great into and helping everyone to be successful.

    Great video on containers for garden plants and also on trellising and supporting tomatoes. I never knew you should not trim cherry tomatoes and trying to understand differences in growing determinate vs indeterminate tomatoes. I would love to grow tomatoes or peppers in the tan grow bag and I think the size you used is perfect.

  • @theresahearney7353
    @theresahearney7353 Před 2 lety

    I've grown tomatoes before but after watching your videos and following you, I've learned I was doing lots of things the wrong way. Brian, I have found your videos are a wonderful teaching tool and I've learned so much in the short time I've been watching! I keep my notes on Notepad right on my phone so I can remember exactly the hows, whens, and whys that you teach about container gardening. I'm planning to grow a few tomatoes, peppers, herbs, and flowers this year on my sunny deck (following your advice and tips of course). Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

  • @lillyg88
    @lillyg88 Před 2 lety

    This video was excellent timing. Most of my tomatoes will be going into my raised beds using the low n lean method for the first time. But I have several plants that I now know I can plant them in grow bags successfully. I really would love trying more things in grow bags like cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, and melons. Thanks for your very helpful videos.
