What type of tomatoes have you grown in the Global Buckets

Barb_FL · September 10, 2014

Last spring, I tried growing tomatoes in the Global Buckets (HD bucket in a bucket), and the plant grew well for awhile but didn't thrive or produce once it reached a decent size. I then used the buckets for eggplants and it did well and they are still going strong. This summer, I grew one cucumber plant in the bucket and stopped counting after 30+ cukes.

I only have 1 free Earthbox (of 11), and lots of tomato seedlings that need to be permanently moved so was thinking of giving the global buckets another try vs just planting them in root pouches.

Has anyone had any luck growing tomatoes in the buckets? What variety?

Thanks,
Barb
