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.

Re: Another Ol' Hippie
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.

Re: Another Ol' Hippie
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.

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