[QUOTE="Bill Elliott, post: 238274, member: 2946"] I planted tomatoes in old mineral buckets. I planted both determinate and indeterminante. I used good topsoil, compost and some sand. I drilled plenty of holes in the bottom and sides of the buckets. All seem to be doing good but look "weak"...leaves curling up. I have experienced blossum end rot...I put some tums in the bucket and got a commercial calcium spray. I was watering twice a day but not sure that's enough. I'm getting good tomatoes but the plants just don't look happy. I don't think I have my watering "protocal" down right....anyone got any ideas? Thanks and cheers, Bill This is my first attempt at growing tomatoes in containers. [/QUOTE]
