Hang your tomato securely from its handle. If at all possible have two people available to do this. Your upside down tomato planter is not only heavy, it's rather unwieldy at this point. Also, because the tomato is growing through the bottom of the bucket, you can't put it down on a flat surface. I had a large planter near by and when I had some trouble hanging the upside down tomato planter, I rested in on the large planter.
Water your tomato generously. One of the fastest ways to kill a tomato plant is not to give it enough water. You want to keep the soil consistently damp, but not wet. If you let your soil dry out, you may get blossom end rot which is not pretty.
I leave the cover partially on because I don’t want the bucket to get too heavy in a sudden downpour, but I also want air circulation.
Feed your tomatoes every week with a diluted liquid fertilizer, such as fish emulsion.
Enjoy!
