How much do your tomato plants Cost?

BajaMitch · March 2, 2016

Does anybody know how much they themselves spend on potting mix/soil/fertilizers to grow a single tomato plant in a container?

Excluding the cost of seeds or seedlings, water and the container and any other durable goods cost like the PVC tube and/or the net pot in a self watering bucket container, or the other rig costs of a hydroponics system, how much do you spend, per plant, on potting mix and fertilizers altogether for one single plant?

Has anyone ever calculated their own cost per pound of container grown tomatoes? I am just asking about the cost of grow media or potting mix and fertilizers only on a per-pound-of-tomato-fruit basis (exclude the cost of the water, seeds or seedlings and exclude the cost of durable equipment such as that mentioned above).
