Hi All,
check out the new pages on the website. I am slowly getting the site a bit more organised and hope to improve both the content and the layout over the coming months.
Members comments would be welcomed either in praise or critical (provided that they are constructive).
I have just picked the last of my crop of tomatoes. These were grown from seed, outdoors in England, using 3 medium sized flower pots that were hand watered daily and 1 Autopot. The results have been just amazing.
As a control my wife grew about the same number of seedlings in 2 growbags. These produced about a third of the crop that the hydro ones gave. Their season was shorter by about 4 to 5 weeks and there was a lot more loss to slugs, snails etc as well as some rain damage.
The only slight problem I had with the Hydro was that the Autopot filled up with water from the plant pot every time we had heavy rain. All I did was suck it out with a large syringe and squirt it on the garden. The veggies and flowers seemed to thrive in that area.
The last of the tomatoes have begun to get damaged by the cold and wet so I have abandoned them. I am, however, well impressed by fresh tomatoes, with lots of flavour, outside until almost November. Maybe this global warming is coming to the UK and we are in for some decent weather for a change. Somehow I doubt it!
Have a great week,
Rickie.
