I'm looking for recommendations for books on container gardening, specifically for growing tomatoes in pots (like gorilla buckets). After a failed batch this year due to blossom end rot, I want to do some reading to prepare for next year. I prefer physical books since they're easier to reference than videos. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Carol Klein and Alan Titchmarsh have excellent books, especially for beginners. I also learned a lot from the old Readers Digest vegetable and flower cultivation guides—they're cheap used and packed with info. Also, during heat waves, consistent watering and airflow are super tricky, so those tips will be handy for your next season.
You might want to look into the garden expert series by D.G. Hessayon. The one on vegetables should cover tomatoes too, but I'd double-check just in case. It's a solid choice for container gardening!
The RHS has some great gardening books, though I can't name a specific title since I don't own any. They’re reliable for container gardening topics, so it’s worth checking them out!
Haha, I thought the same! Your title was a bit confusing at first.
