Tomatoville® Gardening Forums - View Single Post - Am I doomed to a puny crop this year? Potting soil issue

cythaenopsis · July 9, 2013

Ah, I got you. Actually, it makes some sense. A large plastic soil bag with holes in the bottom could definitely do the trick. And after packing with the potting medium, run some cord around the box perimeter to give it some support.

I have a seedling that I produced from a sucker and it's just about ready to be potted in a larger container. Of course it's rather late in the season, so there probably won't be much fruit producing opportunities for it. But it's definitely growing fast and who knows, if I can get at least a handful of fruit from it before the season ends then it was probably worth doing. Or I may just give it to a neighbor to have a go at it, who doesn't have many tomato plants this year.
