Another Ol' Hippie

Hi,
I'm growing on year 75 and looking for information on growing tomatoes.
I use a seed farm--attachment-- and then plant in semi-raised beds.
Today looks like this---attachment.
I use Steve Solomon's Complete Organic Fertilizer recipe and treat the plants to a couple doses of worm poop compost tea from my
single riser vortex compost tea brewer-attachment.

I've not used this format so I haven't inserted the photos into the message.

Anyhow I have some questions which I will post into other forums.

Howdy,

Tom dba Plantaholic12

That's the most impressive tomato plant I've ever seen.

Thanks for the warm welcome!
The praises for the organic lifeforms are swelling the head...don't need much, 8 1/8 already.
I'm a bit surprised by the size praise for the toms. I thought ease of the Rockies vines went wild.

Anyhow, nice comments.

By all means, please do thread explaining your "single riser vortex compost tea brewer-attachment". I have only ever done it in a bucket with a wimpy old aquarium aerator, and that has been a long while now.

Well now, explain your " single riser vortex tea brewer"...
I'll create a thread in General Discussion about the brewer.
