Grow Tomato Plants In Milk Jugs: Growing Apartment Tomatoes
Tips, Tricks
http://www.GreenJoyment.com If you live in an apartment, you can still grow vegetables. Milk jugs, potting soil, and tomatoes combine to make simple summer plants, and you can use something you're probably throwing away right now: milk jugs. This video will show you how to plant tomato and pepper plants in milk jugs for growing plants in a small space from reusable milk jugs. The inspiration for this: Carrie and I saw a TV commercial where they were selling some plastic thing you could buy for $20 to grow your own tomatoes. What's the point of that? People have plastic containers like milk jugs that they throw out every day. We actually got the milk jugs for our tomato plants from the coffee shop where Carrie works sometimes. Carrie told me that the coffee shop throws out at least 15 of these milk jugs EVERY day. That's unbelievable. (Think about the hundreds of thousands of milk jugs thrown out every day my the thousands of coffee shops across America alone). So we turned them into tomato planters. If you live in an apartment or have limited space, this could be a perfect way for you to grow tomatoes as well. Grow your own tomatoes and peppers from milk jugs.

How can I grow tomato seeds in a condominium?

Glad I found you, I'm ready to do this now! :)

would i get result even if i couldn't hang them outside?
-
Yer, your right I was thinking more for kick starting the seedlings! Going to do the whole recycling thing. Thanks for the tips!

You're welcome! I'm not sure milk jugs are the best way to get lots of tomatoes... I'd use old 5 gallon buckets (paint buckets) instead, as I think you'll have much better results from your tomatoes.

Very cool idea that I plan to implement at my daughter Karin's school. Thanks for the inspiration.

okay thanks so much! this video is super helpful and really easy!

I think you'll be alright on the animals front. The animals you'd have the most difficulty with when it comes to tomatoes would be birds, or tomato worms. And for either of those, you can put the tomato plants wherever and still end up with worms or bird problems. With tomatoes, the more sun you can give them, the better - that's been my experience anyway. Mid-day to evening sun is the best.

This is a really good suggestion. Should help the tomato plant to bear more fruit.

Okay here is a city person trying to grow tomatoes for the first time come spring/summer since i just moved out to the country. I want to keep them hanging up to keep animals out of it. I live in a downstairs basement apartment. There is a deck i could hang them from but it would be the bottom half. How much sunlight does it need? It would be in the sun until sunset. Is that a good area? Or should I put it in a pot on my stoop and if so suggestions on how to keep animals out of it?

Get more out of your tomato plant. Pinch off the suckers (search it if you don't know what that is) and plant them (keep in full shade till roots are established) and they'll grow and produce fruit along with the parent plant.

I had no idea I said that so many times. Thanks for the humor this morning! Gotta laugh at myself and also that I didn't notice that until you pointed it out here. :)

Yea. Good propaganda. But I ain't buying that BPA is good for men when there are many non-biased studies that prove it causes a ton of problems, not the least of which is causing men to become effeminate. Wonder why more and more men want to be humped by men? Learn more abt eugenics, science put at the service of the criminal class.

@kfc903 Solar water disinfection, also known as SODIS is a method of disinfecting water using only sunlight and plastic PET bottles.SODIS is a free and effective method for decentralized water treatment, usually applied at the household level and is recommended by the World Health Organization as a viable method for household water treatment and safe storage.... wikipedia

@kfc903 Don't know. Was 2 1/2 years ago and the milk cartons are long gone. Interesting point though.

@BackyardDiscoveryCo Thanks! Next time I would cut the top and bottom off a second milk jug because the plants really need more root space... or maybe find some 5 gallon buckets. We got fewer tomatoes than we should have and I think it was just due to the limited amount of soil.
