A better way for any tomatoe wicking bucket. Glue the bottom of jug to bucket. Run fill pipe wild - any length you need and use it to support the tomatoes instead of tomatoe stakes or cages. If growing indeterminate tomatoes, install a Y fitting at a convenient height to add water then add another length of pipe to the height needed. The PVC pipe will last forever. You can also use a smaller pipe size that fits in hole already in top of jug and then use an adapter where you put Y to enlarge fill hole

isn't that 1 inch PVC you are using? You said get 1 1/2 inch but that doesn't seem correct.

OM Goodness, Good catch refigerationguy. This video is 11 months old, and you caught that. I haven't watched it in forever so I might have said 1 1/2". Thank you for watching and commenting. I just posted a new bucket garden video yesterday; I you need you to watch it too.

All that jug and such is unnecessary. I've been raising tomatoes in buckets for 45 years and all you need is a drain hole in the side of the bucket. It will hold water up to the drain hole ever how high you drill the hole. I drill mine 1 inch above the bottom and hold 1 in for the wicking.

Good deal Jim. I’m assuming the jug is for a slow release of water so I can be lazy for a week without watering. Thank you for watching and commenting

True but in 100° Temps they will drain that bucket everyday. This year I'm trying two tomatoes per bucket with the thought if they got stressed I could clip one. So far they are doing great. Seems they are pushing one another instead of one hindering the other. My determinate are belly high and loaded the indeterminate are head high and loaded, been picking those over a week now.

Stick a bamboo pole or something skinny down the pipe, then pull it out. Compare bamboo to hole and you can measure water level easily. Should never water from above using this system. Yes you can grow but you are just flushing your nutrients. Water from below using the pipe and a funnel. Will get a bigger yield this way. Also use a board or donut shaped to place on top to keep the rain out to prevent the aforementioned nutrient loss.

@zaneyoung1558 Good suggestions. I haven’t thought of the wood dowel to check level. I do reapply some type of nutrients ever two weeks.
