I’m going to have to re-pot my tomato plants for the third time.

You need to put your tomato plants in double 5 gallon bucket planters. They self drain so your plants don't drown.

I made several of those 5 gallon self-contained buckets for some of my tomaotes. The last one I made using only 1 bucket, putting a platform and basket in the bottom of it. The tomatoes seem to be doing the same as the double buckets.

Too much water isn’t the problem, too much plant for the pot is the problem. Some of the are getting close to 2’ tall. I need to get em in the ground.
