Only down sized with this method is you HAVE to water every day. This year I'm going with a hydroponics system, peppers, tomatoes and cukes. Good luck!

I also grow tomatoes in 5 gallon buckets. I discovered a product while searching YouTube videos on how to grow tomatoes in containers. I am not trying to sell anyone anything and have no interest in this company or it's products. BUT, This is the bees knees when it comes to growing tomatoes in a container. I love being able to bring them into carport sometimes. They are GroBucket Garden Kit (3PK) Self Watering sub-irrigated Planter Inserts. I got mine from Amazon, not sure where else you can find them. You might search YouTube and find out for yourself. These watering devices are INCREDIBLE. I hope this doesn't violate any posting rules.
