TOMATO plants planted Outdoors in a 5 Gallon bucket; How often/much, to WATER them?
Question:
Answers:
Whenever the soil feels dry you should water, and this will depend on your weather. The hotter/ dryer it is out, the more often you'll need to water. I usually do mine once a day in the morning. Try spraying on a mixture of dish detergent and water to keep the bugs off. :) Good luck!
Tomato plants need at least a gallon of water every other day, make sure you have holes in the bottom of the bucket so roots don't rot.
If it is a new seedling, water it maybe once a day until you know it is rooted in. then ween it back so it can establish a good deep root system. I water mine in Alabama about every 3-5 days, but I water it thoroughly. The container will probably dry out faster than ground does, but you can usually tell pretty easy when a tomato is thirsty.
water them every other day about a whole watering can(depending on the cans size)
