I did move to tomato cages and they are solid on the lid. I love them. But indeterminate tomatoes would still need to be supported like you are doing. I don't have the room for tall plants. Filling is easy because i raise the lid and the whole plant and cage raises with it. I do raise determinate tomatoes. I'm so glad you put up a new video, it's nice to see you again.
Great to see a new-ish video from you again! Would you consider doing a video on how you rigged your wire racks? I live in an apartment and cannot attach anything to the ceiling. But it looks like you have the top shelves of the racks suspended somehow. I'm interested to know how you did that. I'm currently preparing a spare bedroom to turn it into a grow room. I live in Illinois where winters can get cold and snowy (being in Canada I'm sure you know all about cold/snowy weather!). I also have no space to grow outside. So indoor growing is my only option right now. I'd really like to grow things year-round if I can to reduce my dependence on the supermarket.
@@elizabethr2908 thank you for your kind words, the big plant was indeterminate beefsteak, the little ones that I trimmed and supported were Manitoba tomato plants determinate. They are great, small plants very manageable and they produce well. They produce smaller tomatoes, still a fair size but nothing like the monster plant. Hope that helps and happy growing!
I started the plants from seeds in jiffy pellets and then when the roots started to come through the bottom of the jiffy pellet I put them in 3” net pot and in their permanent home. I have a video in my hydroponics play list on a transplant that can show you how. Thanks for watching! Happy growing!
This was PERFECT timing! I was just trying to figure out how to support my tomato plants, so thank you!
Thank you and my apologies it took so long to launch, I have just been so busy. I’m happy to hear from you and happy this video helped you! 😊
Great video Edward! Nice to see you making some great videos again!
Thanks Jeffrey!

Love your videos Edward. What variety of determinate tomatoes were on your rack? Please keep making videos ❤

Hi How did you plant the tomatoes in those buckets? In net pots? Thank you..
