Container Gardening For Tomatoes by Frostyflame(m): 6:39pm On Jun 04, 2017
Hello Nairalanders. I'm about starting container gardening with 7-gallon growbags for Tomatoes. I went online and I saw a bunch of recipes for making potting mixes. They mentioned some strange stuff like perlite and vermiculite. Does anyone know where these can be bought in Nigeria? If not are there any substitutes?

I imported one Vegibee garden pollinator along with the bags and some San Marzano Roma tomato seeds too. I'm really looking forward to any advice on growing tomatoes. I have another question tho, how do I reduce humidity?

You will need coco peat for your container garden. It is better than garden soil. Coco peat growing medium has the following advantages:
Excellent moisture retention
Improves aeration
Antifungal properties
Eco-friendly
