Tomato Success Kit, Terra Cotta

This is my second time trying to plant tomatoes in containers. Last year was mostly a disaster where several plants gave way to only a couple tomatoes total. When I spied these tomato success kits, they looked like a no-brainer. And they were!

So easy to set up, the kits come with everything you need -- casters, fertilizer, container soil, cages, cage clips! Just supply the tomato seedlings.

I planted my seedlings two weeks ago and they are growing great. I have some other seedlings that I planted in the same containers but without the cages and I can see that they are not quite as stable.

Wish Gardeners sold just these tomato cages through their site.

Love these. Would definitely buy again!

GROWING TOMATOES

I love it and had my cousin whose husband is a landscaper in Greenwich Ct. buy one for her patio.
Was easy to set up. I bought the wheels and what a blessing. I move it around the deck to keep it in the sun. Move to a protected area when it pours or is windy.
I put 2 Celebrity plants in it and while it is only the beginning of May they are growing.
The fertilizer seems to be good. I love the plant support system as in the past I used cages and when the plants were laden with tomatoes they would tip over taking the plant with them. I would have to tie the cages to a railing to try to keep it upright. This rectangle configuration is so much better and has the option of getting an extension which I did.
I put the plants out early for my zone, but put gallon plastic water bottles over them after the bottoms of the container were cut off. It acts like a green house (cap has been removed) and it protected the plants form the cold spell we had.
Love it, love it, love it.

I am using it on my deck. It is the perfect size for my usage and being moveable allows me to reposition on deck as season changes and sunlight moves. I have another, purchased several years ago which I use on deck for holding flowers waiting to be transferred to the garden.

ever since moving to the SE I have had a hard time growing tomatoes--always had blossom end rot and splitting. Tried everything! With this system, I have had beautiful tomatoes! Loved it so much, got another system this year to grow peppers and one for my daughter to grow tomatoes! And so easy to move with wheels--great for when going away for a few days, just moved out of sun to keep moist longer. Plants grow so tall, need extension cage.

Proof that quality products are still available if you can find them. This Tomato Success kit is a perfect example. I'm very impressed with the concept and design.

I bought this to put on my patio. It is perfect for my area. I have two tomato plants in it and they are thriving.

The potting soil mix and the fertilizer granules are included. All you need are two tomato plants!

Next year I will have two of these. I would like to see a double size option.

Only took a few minutes to assemble with good instructions. Just planted, so don't know how well the soil and fertilizer will work. Love the simplicity and sturdiness. Will probably buy another next season.

I am using two this year after such good success last year.

Verdict still out on how this produces tomatoes. Seems to hold water for about a week. Great for the frequent weekend traveler.
