Tomatoes don't need a bed: they produce good yields in a pot on the balcony or terrace. With the necessary knowledge and a few tips, it works even better.
Use large pots or tubs that have at least 10 to 15 liters capacity. Opt for compact cocktail tomato varieties or those specifically bred for container growing, such as 'Bajaja', 'Tiny Tim', 'Little Red Riding Hood' or 'Tumbling Tom Red' Tomatoes grown in clay pots require more water. Use a high-quality potting soil or special soil for vegetable plants that ensures good permeability and sufficient nutrient supply. Fertilize your tomatoes every three weeks with a vegetable or tomato fertilizer to promote growth and fruit production.
