Hello Everyone.


I'am wondering if anyone has any experience growing tobacco here in our
Newfoundland climate. For those that do, I would like to know where to get
the seeds for it, and also where should I grow it ? I heard that it was like
growing corn, but I don't know if that is true or not. I'am getting a
greenhouse soon from Kent's, and also I have allot of Topsoil and Peat Moss
and Composted Cow Manure and plenty of lime. Should I grow it in the
greenhouse or out in one of my gardens ? If someone could supply me with
some details on growing it, and what soil and stuff to use, and whether I
use lime or not, and so on, it would be very much appreciated.

So anyone with experience regarding this, please respond to this post. I'am
very grateful.


Thanks to all,

Justin Harding.



Hi Justin
I haven't grown it myself but I have a friend that has. He never offered
a sample to try but did offer his opinion about the product. Yuk!
I saw the plant it had big leaves and was growing in a loose, sandy type
soil. It was about three feet tall.
Fertilizer? Certified organic manure of some kind.
And by the way, you may not like the information I give you but it is
the best I can do. The person who sent you those sites (WWW) was doing the
best he/she could also. A simple thanks for our input would be very
appropriate...even if you don't want the information. A 'thanks' sometimes
means more than you know.
