Growing Tomatoes in pots
If you don’t have enough space in the garden to grow tomatoes, try them in containers instead. Yates Tiny Tim is compact enough to grow in a small container. Larger varieties need bigger pots – a Yates Tuscan pot in the 400mm size is best. Fill with Thrive Premium Potting Mix and fertilise regularly with Thrive Soluble Plant Food. Guardall will control a wide range of pests and diseases.
