I grow tomatoes in 10 and 15 gallon containers because about 5 or 6 years ago the soil in the garden developed a bacterial wilt that kills tomato plants just as they are starting to produce. The only vegetable that the wilt bothers is tomatoes.

Unless automated, keeping containers watered is a daily thing, especially in hot climates. I''ve found that mulching the top of the pots works well in helping the soil stay evenly moist, cooler and no weed seedlings.
