I don't think I've ever managed to grow tomatoes up on my mountain.
A nice challenge for the future.

I would imagine! I'd suggest somewhere NE-facing, and out of the
wind -- maybe one of those sunken gardens. Do you have chooks to
help with the creation of organic matter?


Out of the wind, ho ho ho! No such place, sadly. No chooks, you need to be
here all the time, and the foxes are very active. Chook manure is pretty
amazing stuff but it's no good fresh, it'll fry everything for miles.
Sadly, I think tomatoes are something I'll have to keep buying. Maybe a
sunken garden might work... worth a try.

For those who failed the marijuana class, by a premature bust, try
growing tomatoes in the hydroponic setup. Also the hint of a bit of
copper wire through the stalk of the plant may be a good one. Will get
back to you all re this working, or other problems.
You never know till ya have a go....
