It's no longer a secret that tomatoes from your own garden are much tastier and more aromatic. They not only thrive in beds or greenhouses, but also in tubs. This variant is particularly suitable for those who only have a balcony or a very small garden. So nobody has to do without fruity tomatoes from their own cultivation.
During my research for "special kind" buckets, I came across the video from HighCarb Schwabe. He shows us here how you can easily build a tomato bucket from a simple mortar box from the hardware store or here from Amazon. The video instructions contain detailed step-by-step instructions and an exact list of materials. Then nothing can go wrong.
» By the way: Anyone who has ever stood next to the mortar boxes in the hardware store will have noticed that they smell very unpleasant. However, this smell will dissipate after a few days in the fresh air. Just put it in the sun and let it evaporate a little and maybe rinse with hot water a few more times.
Gardener's tip:Tomatoes prefer a sunny and wind-protected spot. Find a location where the tomato can get as many hours of sunshine as possible. A balcony facing south or south-west is best. Tomato plants do need water, but not directly from above. The bucket should therefore be well protected from rain, as this promotes the formation of fungal diseases.
