Yet another Tomato query - sorry!

[Ger-annie-um]

Got the tomato plants growing really well - 4 varieties. Got the buckets from Morrisons. NOW, what's the best medium to plant them in? ordinary MPC, MPC mixed with something else (what?), maybe take out the contents of a growbag or even soil mixed with manure. I need billions of tomatoes for chilli dipping sauce, soups, passata etc and only have a small(ish) greenhouse. Over to you guys for the definitive recipe for success.

anything as long as you feed them properly. I'd go for mpc in the greenhouse with soil/manure outside, feed with nitrogen type feed when growing, then switch to potash feed when fruiting. Find zazens tomato frame for outside to try and avoid the blight.

I buy good quality growbags and then use that in buckets. Growbags themselves are far too shallow .

[Potstubsdustbins]

As above MPC or growbags. I use miraclegrow (high nitrogen) for green growth, then switch to tomorite (high potash) once the first toms appear.

Don't forget the drainage holes in the buckets.
