I am busy experimenting with the growing of tomatoes in elevated buckets instead of in the ground.
Both the ground and the buckets will have been well supplied with compost and a sprinkle of chemical fertiliser.
The major difference is that the ground-growing plants need to be helped with trestles. etc. to keep on growing upwards whereas I expect that the elevated plants in buckets will simply fall over, hang down by their own weight, and still give me lots of fruit.
I will also put a few worms into the buckets, (the ground already has many worms.)
Watch this space.
In a month or two from now I will report on the results.
