I need some advise on growing tomatoes in containers. Does anyone on here grown them in containers and if so what sort of fertilizers and soil amendments do you use? Thanks for any advise!
Rabbit poo is the best! Also make sure to water on a schedule. Containers dry out quickly and tomatoes are not too tolerant of dry soil. Also be sure to have good drainage. I grew some bush tomatoes in containers two seasons ago and they did well.

I like to use potting soil, compost, and even some actual garden soil. If you don't have access to garden soil, which contains less weeds, be sure to dig down about 10 inches to get below the worst of the weed and grass roots for your soil collection. I also use alot of manure and kitchen compost.
