A few questions from a beginer

GATORACE · April 29, 2015

Hi Everyone,
I see a lot of people on here that are growing some great Tomato's, so I thought I would ask some questions to help me out this year and in the future. Thank you in advance for any help you be able to provide.

1. I am growing in 10 and 8 gallon containers and have several different variety's I am trying, I am growing in worm castings ( the worms are fed rabbit manure) my plant are about 5 foot tall very thick stalks and are they are starting to bloom and set tomato's. Is this a good medium to grown in, or am I making a mistake?

2. I have been fertilizing with a liquid fertilizer ( I think it is 3-5-5) once a week, per the instructions, it does seem to promote flowering ( but maybe it was just time for flowering ) anyway, I see several references to 13-13-13 being used, am I using a fertilizer that is to week?

3. What can I do to promote growth of the tomatoes at this this point, I don't need 4 lb's to be happy but I don't want to wind up with all tennis ball tomato's either.

4. I have a small 4x8 green house that I want to grow tomatos in this winter, can anyone recommend a good bushy but not to tall type of tomato that will work in there?

I know I will have many more questions, but I don't want to wear out my welcome right off the bat.

Thanks to everyone in advance.

Gatorace.
