How to Plant and Grow Tomatoes in Smart Pots (Fabric Grow Bags)

In this video, we plant a tomato with no bells and whistles, keeping it simple from start to finish. It takes only a few bucks in materials and 5 minutes of effort. And while it may not grow into the biggest, prize-winning tomato plant it is most definitely better off than all the plants that never get planted.

So if you're in the mood to start a tomato (or a whole tomato garden) but don't want to spend too much time or money from the beginning, let's give it a go together. Here's what you'll learn:

1. Selecting a container size for tomatoes
2. Potting mix and plant food
3. How and why to properly mulch your tomato plant
4. Short term and long term tomato pruning
5. Staking a tomato for ease and big harvests
6. Watering in and ongoing watering

P.S. Don't get us wrong, we love to geek out on cool research and techniques to maximize a harvest. But not every day ;)
