Tomato Plant upgrade
I started growing a tomato plant in a 5 gallon bucket a few months ago. Good practice before I dive into building my garden next season. It’s one way for me to learn the basics of growing and maintaining basic vegetables. I started off with 1 tomato plant which has grown quite a bit. Pulled a few suckers and planted in another pot which has taken off nicely. Both are placed it inside my screened in pool enclosure which produced two fruits but none since. I heard it was due to being inside of screen enclosure. It has grown so much that it’s starting to wilt over. It surpassed its original support stick. I purchased a galvanized steel cage support to help the growth of the original tomato plant and will add new potting soil to another 5 gallon bucket to transplant those suckers. Both will be relocated outside the screen enclosure so nature can be properly pollinate.
My question, is this good potting soil to use and do I need to do anything else to the bucket besides add adequate holes in the bottom for drainage?
