Introducing the Tomato Crater, the ultimate gardening tool that will revolutionize how you grow your tomatoes and other vegetable plants. Designed with precision and practicality, the Tomato Crater is more than just a garden accessory—it’s a game-changer for anyone serious about growing healthier, more productive plants.

Why the Tomato Crater Stands Out: Growing tomatoes can be a rewarding experience, but it also comes with challenges like uneven watering, pest problems, and weeding. The Tomato Crater addresses all these issues by focusing on where it matters most: the plant’s root system. The innovative design allows water and nutrients to be directed straight to the roots, improving absorption and conserving water. This is especially important for gardeners in hot climates or those growing plants in raised beds or containers, where water conservation is key.

The Tomato Crater is perfect for container gardeners, urban gardeners, and small-space gardeners who are looking for a sustainable, space-efficient solution that delivers impressive results. If you're growing your own food to reduce grocery costs or just enjoy the satisfaction of homegrown produce, the Tomato Crater will make your gardening experience easier and more successful. 

How the Tomato Crater Works: The Tomato Crater is a two-piece, 12-inch water reservoir that wraps around the base of your tomato plants (or other vegetables like peppers, cucumbers, and squash). As you water, the reservoir collects and directs the moisture straight down to the roots, reducing evaporation and ensuring your plants get the water they need without over saturation. Watering at the base of the plants instead of overhead helps reduce blight.

In addition to being a watering solution, the Tomato Crater helps keep your garden pest-free. It creates a natural barrier that protects plants from cutworms and other common garden pests, meaning less need for chemical insecticides. This is a must-have for any organic gardener looking to grow naturally without harmful pesticides.

Key Features:

  • Directs Water to Roots: The Tomato Crater conserves water by directing it to where it’s needed most—the roots. This maximizes hydration and helps the plant absorb nutrients efficiently.
  • Reduces Weeding: By acting as a natural protective shield, it minimizes the growth of weeds around the base of the plant, so you can spend less time pulling weeds and more time enjoying your garden.
  • Prevents Pests: The unique design deters pests like cutworms, reducing the risk of damage without the need for chemicals.
  • UV-Protected & BPA-Free: Made from high-quality, durable plastic, the Tomato Crater is safe for your plants and built to last, even in direct sunlight.
  • Compatible with Tomato Cages: The slots on the side make it easy to fit standard tomato cages through the Tomato Crater, providing additional support for growing plants.

 

Who Should Use the Tomato Crater? Whether you’re an experienced gardener or just starting out, the Tomato Crater is a sustainable tool that can help you grow better vegetables. It’s especially useful for those who:

  • Grow tomatoes, peppers, squash, or cucumbers in raised beds or containers.
  • Want to conserve water and reduce environmental impact.
  • Are looking for an organic gardening solution that minimizes the need for pesticides.
  • Need a low-maintenance way to keep their garden free of pests and weeds.

 Success Stories from Gardeners Like You: Customers rave about the Tomato Crater’s ability to improve plant health and increase yields. Many report up to 20% more fruit per plant after using the Tomato Crater. Home gardeners, hobbyists, and urban gardeners alike have noticed healthier plants, fewer pests, and reduced time spent on maintenance.

What a difference

We planted tomato seedlings in three tomato craters and all three grew taller and more fruitful than the previous year. We also noticed that the plants grew quicker when they were smaller (compared to last year w/o the TC) and we believe it is because of the warmer soil temperature from the round base and the improved soil moisture from the water-conserving design of the TC. We highly recommend the Tomato Crater. KB

Easy and effective!

These are probably among the easiest and most effective garden tools that you can use. They store easily, they install easily, they perform great--making it easy to water, keep out bugs and weeds and increase your yield with no chemicals. I only used them for my tomatoes this year, but next year, will use them for other plants as well. My tomatoes are in raised beds and they are thriving and full of fruit thanks to the craters!
Also - you can't beat the customer service at FLI. They are responsive, quick to ship and very customer centered. All in all, a great find.
The first photo below shows two of my plants just after planting and adding the craters. The other three are recent photos.

Love these two piece tomato craters

I just bought nine more craters, giving me a total of 30 craters that I use for my tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, and marigolds. I love them. They help water nicely, clean up and store nicely in the winter and best of all they go around the plant easily because they come in half and go back together easily. I use a drip irrigation system and put a drip emitter in to each side of the crater

Great Product. Impressed

I had prviously ordered a competing product. Finding the one I had purchase far less than satisfactory, I turned to the Internet. I ordered the FLI “Tomato Crater.’ I LOVE THEM. Sturdy, easy to use. As for the color, I have read that red light helps plants, especially young ones, grow. I can’t say I would have any way of knowing that. I DO RECOMMEND THEM.

Thank you for your review Samuel! Let's grow together!

Awesome "Made in USA" Product

I tried others and returned them. Flimsy and a third were covered with glued-on labels that were impossible to remove by any ordinary means. I looked further and finally found these at Tractor Supply. I knew if I ordered them there, they could be returned if I was not pleased. When I received them and saw their great quality, I was more than pleased - they were sturdy, easy to use, and had no obnoxious stuck-on labels. In fact, I have ordered more, this time from FLI and AT A SALE PRICE EVEN.
