If you are a container gardener, whether EarthBox, Wicking Tubs or another type of container, there are "best practices" as to how to replant. Let me show you how I replant Tomatoes in my EarthBoxes. Here are a few tips, tricks and new products that might interest you, and help you get the very MOST out of your container gardening experience.

I’m so happy that you show earth box growing and care! Love the mulch plan. I’m out of covers and didn’t use one last year..didn’t mound mulch 😕. So had to add more fertilizer. Thanks!!
I bought a set of those augers for my drill. I love them. The tiniest auger is my favorite for ever. I make my hole and just use the little one to waller it out😉. The battery on the drill battery lasts much longer with the little one. Enjoyed the video. Hope you get 80# of tomatoes off each of them babies.
You can use a bulb planting tool to manually make a hole and plant potted plants instead of a drill. You have more control and less chance of having an issue.
Looking forward to trying the red snappers that I planted from seed this year, side by side with some Hossinators, both of which will be in my raised bed. Also though, I want to look for a different approach and plant some of these in a Container that has less soil to see if they'll produce as good and what the difference will be. I'm also going to do the same with my Tauci Paste Tomatoes and the Chef's Orange.
I’ve had tomatoes in the ground for over a month in Lubbock. No covers or squat and it worked out. Out of the woods now my friend if the make it through the crazy wind we always have😂
Maybe. It’s a combination of stress and uneven water intake along with calcium uptake. Several factors, but stress can certainly be one of them. I will do shade cloth, probably in June or July, but it really depends on how tough our summer is
Educumate me Alan. I add pelletized lime to containers believing that it should supply the calcium and even extra magnesium. It's $7 at Lowes for 40lbs. Why lime and gypsum? Also, where do you get your 10-20-10?
I get my 10 - 20- 10 at my local feed store. As I understand it, the pelleted gypsum helps with salt buildup, makes the ground more pliable, and also supplies calcium. The lime is to raise the pH level.
It is a determinate, yes. I don’t think it will last till frost, unless you have a very short growing season. To extend them to frost, I would clone some in June and they should be ready to go on the ground by July. That’s what I plan to do.
I now use wood or oak leaf mulch instead of plastic on my earth boxes it's much easier than dealing with plastic. Epson salt/ magnesium helps with nutrient up take nothing else. The unknown is whether your existing soil has enough magnesium and a soil test is the only way to find out. It's hard to find a granular fertelizer with high P and K...
The science says Epsom salt Can make blossom and rot worse because magnesium competes with calcium for uptake in the plant.. Hoss discussed it on the last Row by Row show.

Glad to help! :)

Ha ha ha… I hope I get a bunch of maters too.

Yes, be sure to buy every single tool that you possibly need because it doesn’t make you feel comfortable improvising
I love new tools… But I also love improvising 😊
I bet that would work just as well 😊

You might get away with a 3 gallon container, but I usually advise 5 gallons or above.
Did you buy the auger @ Hoss Tools? It is not on their website. Looks very helpful
No, I got the auger on Amazon. There’s a link in the description below the video for the auger.
Hope that helps.

I have staked all my tomatoes and peppers. Hopefully we’ll have a video on that next week. Because yes, this wind is crazy.
I wonder if the blossom end rot would simmer down if you apply a shade cloth starting around May 20 since it is generally due to stress.
Maybe.

Allen that Hoss!naturally is a determinate right. Will it stay till frost?
It is a determinate, yes. I don’t think it will last till frost, unless you have a very short growing season.
To extend them to frost, I would clone some in June and they should be ready to go on the ground by July. That’s what I plan to do.
Did any of your pepper plants from last year , ever come back
Nope. I’m starting from scratch. But that’s OK. 😊
I started sum more but still waiting to see on a couple of them
I’m wanting my hossinator jalapeño to come back again this year … it is in a Texas prepper 2 wicking tub
If it does , I will send u a picture
New subscriber 👍. Thanks for sharing 👍

Very true. That’s why I used this 10 - 20-10 that I get from my Feed store.

Thanks, I’ll have to check it out. I enjoy their show.
I don't think you mentioned why you are not using the regular cover?
Yep I did... 👍😎
Watch again, starting at about 7:20
So you are re=amending the soil.
Yes, every year.
Needs fresh fertilizer, lime , etc
PH test should be done for lime, but I usually don’t.
Men and their power tools...🤣🤣🤣
Ha ha ha… More power! 😊
You should open comments on your new channel
Yes... I just did! 👍😎
