Want to grow tomatoes or cucumbers on your porch? It’s
easier than you think. First, you will need a big container
(at least ten gallons) to allow for the rapid growth rate of
these plants. Next, use an organic non-petroleum based
soil mixture to get the best nutrients from your veggies.
These soil mixtures are very light and dry out quickly,
so consider adding either bagged cow manure (great for
tomatoes) or a cured compost, which are very dense and
will slow drainage and provide natural nutrients. Vegetables
grow very quickly so feed themmonthly with an organic slow
release food such as Espoma’s Tomato Tone or Garden Tone.
Also, as the old saying goes, add a Tums to your veggies
so they do not give you heart burn when they get bloom
end rot from a lack of calcium and magnesium or add a
handful of lime to the container when planting. Finally,
place tomato cages early to support your tomatoes so
that you do not to harm the roots later.
Have fun with your containers – let your
imagination go wild and you will be awarded with unique
and beautiful garden accents. And if you choose to plant
veggies and herbs in your containers, happy harvesting.
