Might be one of the most perfect how-to ever. Right length, easy to see, text explanations, and only subtle product mentions.

This is the best tomato growing video on the internet. Straightforward, to the point, well explained, excellent. Excellent.
I saved it, and I'm going to share this with everyone I know. Thanks, Jacques. Well Done!!

I am limited to growing indeterminate tomatoes in containers. This video was incredibly helpful and gave me insight into what some of my issues with my plants were last summer. Thank you!

03:00 can we just appreciate the background so full of colours, the butterflies must love those two plants

[johndesrocher]

I can't put into words how much easier you and the Epic gang have made life. I watched your grow bag tomato vid from last year the other day, and then found this puppy waiting for me. Just perfect timing. Thanks for everything you all do, YouTube is lucky to have you, and we're even luckier!

[jamiehill]

Thanks for sharing your gardening knowledge. This is the first year I have grown from seed and have seen a tremendous difference. I have over 250 tomato plants now instead of just a few plants that I bought. And they are thriving!

❤ I’m a experienced Gardner but I always learn from your video and get reminded of important details. Need to try lined fabric pots next year( my tomatoes are mostly planted and producing).

We used the outside of the kids trampoline as the support for our indeterminate tomato vines on a gridded net attached to the base poles of the trampoline and the upper support poles of the safety net. Worked a treat and gave us a very cheap trellis and efficient use of space. Had the added benefit of stopping the 10yr old boy, throwing his entire body weight against the safety net, which was starting to bend the poles.😊

Thanks Jacque! Because of your informative videos ( this is the best on tomatoes ever!), I've become brave enough to grow so many more tomatoes than ever before. May the constant science experiments in my backyard continue! Such an adventure and so joyful.

[partywithk]

This is by far one of the best tomato videos. Best explained . Very well done

[addisonblu]

Jacques,
Thank you for the best instructions I've come across! Clear and concise! I feel like I know exactly what to do now after watching this video.

With love,
Your serial plant killer.

I always see comments saying "I was just searching this. Perfect timing" and my time has finally come!

I was just searching this. Perfect timing.

If you don't want to buy over-priced grow bags and/or already have them, try lining the inside of the bags with cardboard, if you already have boxes lying around from that tropical named shipping website you already have all you need to help keep water in your fabric pots.

1:35 Cherry folls lol yellow patio choice is classic grows great in a modest container

[deecooper]

Jacques, your garden is a Beautiful mix of veggies & flowers. Extremely pleasing to the eye as well as the palette.
Great video without a lot of chit chat. 💖👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

[esthersdaughterlong]

Thank you so much. I'm growing an indermanint tomato now. I love all of your idea's and suggestions.

[WellOkaythen.]

For any fellow Australian gardeners, I would highly recommend looking into the dwarf tomato project if you’re looking for varieties to grow in limitied space. They have some super cool ones. I think they're available in other countires too, but I'm not sure.

[prayerwarrior]

The flowers behind you are spectacular!

[ericarose]

I’m so freakin excited to get the new grow bags and the little lids too! Excellent video, cool to see Jacques solo on the main.

[richardfoshee]

I LOVE the fabric mulch, what a genius idea!
