bkpickell, lol. I am going to keep this information. I might try this. I have been hitting up my local market and buying fresh tomatoes. I was never a tomato lover but I am now. The idea of growing them is very nice but I often think about the neighborhood stray cats and I don’t want them spraying my veggies. lol.
@MOCHAMILAN I grow tomatoes in my house, I have to say it’s pretty much the same principle. You don’t need all of the fancy computerized automation for a plant or two. It’s a necessity when you have hundreds of plants. You also don’t need the bumble bees to pollinate. I use a “personal massager”. Works like a charm, as gross as it seems, but I assure you it has never been used. I also use Ebb and Flo instead of coco. And inside of the house you don’t have near the pest problems.
Way to go Chef. Nicely done video. Small family operations like this grower are the backbone of America and should get our support. Particularly when they are producing a superior product.
I really enjoyed this clip….I thought it was going to be about how to grow them in your house…but it was still great information. I’ll be more thoughtful now when I think of killing a bumble bee…lol.
Thanks for Sharing :0)
@aussiefifo actually genius, this is economical because it uses only 1/4 of the water that traditional farming uses, and you can do it during the winter, keeping fresh veggies available so we dont have to eat preservatives. Do some research before you make ignorant comments.
I would be happy to just grow 5 to 10 plants like this in the winter. I might be missing something,but what about sun light in the winter,how does he make up for shorter days and less sun light?
I wish I had a bumblebee nest in my back yard or front yard 🙁 My friend has tons of bumble bees and they have a nest in their backyard and the bees really do a good job at pollinating all of those flowers and then they get good crops 🙂 I on the other hand just get bees or any type of pollinating insects come from wherever and pollinate my plants here and there 🙂

This is not a very ecological way of growing tomatoes. Going against nature by eating food that are out of season, what a wasteful society.

@crkathleen If you want to have a little plant with tomatoes on it, put in the flowerpot with a plant a three flakes of onion. Bon’appetite 🙂
