NEW Tomato Tree 🍅 🌳 + Florida Container Garden Tour – May

Even as I am writing this description I am still over the moon with how cool this tomato tree is starting off. Inspired by the record breaking tomato tree at Living with the Land at Epcot, we have DIYed this into what I think is going to be a masterpiece! I love that as a renter, I don’t have to worry about not being able to break this emt conduit based trellis down and take it with us when we move. A huge part of that this thanks to Maker Pipe, which I recent discovered and is 100% what made me decide to finally take the leap and attempt to recreate the tomato tree trellis I’ve fawned over for years at Epcot.

If you aren’t familiar with Maker Pipe, they are a small business, that makes steel fittings for EMT conduit that are super unique and make builds like this possible. Check them out:

🌞 My garden set up includes:
* The official Earth Box store has a lot of color combinations, so it’s worth going direct. I would suggest getting the casters, totally worth it and SO helpful. Also where you can get the automatic watering system made officially for their system. *
