I have just bought some "Tumbler" tomato plants for hanging baskets for the first time. Do I still need to pinch out the side shoots in the same way as normal tomatoes? Also, as I've never grown these before I am concerned that the basket may not provide enough depth of compost and consequently whether they will get enough water. Does anyone have any experience or tips please for growing hanging tomatoes?
suckers do need to be trimmed from the tomato whether it is in the ground, in a pot, or hanging upside down on your patio. These shoots will not produce fruit and will starve the main plant of vital nutrients.
hi i read about his and i havent gotten around to trying it but i have done them in bucket right side up and after alot of work started to check on what i was doing wrong and here is what i found out.i need to allow my compost to have time to rest before i plant so it stands to reason that if the plant is upside down and you water from the top and feed from the top it will produce a heartyer plant as the nutrents are all going to the plant and this allows for it to produce better
