re: Growing Tomatoes and Peppers in 5-Gallon Buckets. "tips"

The hardest thing about containers is maintaining a balance between water and fertilizer. They dry out quicker, which means you water more, and rinse out nutrients unless they’re added consistently. I use a drip system with a timer to water each plant and hit them frequently with a weaker balanced fertilizer. As someone else mentioned, blossom end rot is an issue for the same reason, I use gypsum as a calcium source when transplanting since it breaks down slowly. Other than that, just make sure they’re in a spot where they’ll get 6-8 hours of sun a day.
