Tomato Gardening : How to Make Your Own Tomato Planter

00:00 The video begins with Allie Reynolds introducing herself and explaining that she will show you how to make your own planter for a tomato using an old milk crate or wire fencing.

00:12 Reynolds begins to line the crate with burlap, cutting it to the length of the crate and tucking it in and hanging it slightly over the edges. She recommends using two layers of burlap for better soil retention.

00:35 Reynolds adds some soil to the lined crate, using Happy Frog potting soil which already contains fertilizer and good ingredients.

01:26 After adding more soil to cover the root ball, Reynolds waters the planter well, emphasizing the importance of keeping it moist to prevent the blossoms from dropping off.

01:42 Reynolds recommends fertilizing the planter every three weeks with a granular fertilizer or once a week with a foliar feeding liquid fertilizer.

01:52 Reynolds concludes by stating that the planter can be placed on a back patio, providing you with your own tomato planter.
