Planted some Tomatoes - Beefmasters :)

14 years ago

First I went to Wal-mart and got some bags of 10 percent Cow Manure / 90 percent peat moss for $1.47 a bag

Then I put them in 2 Pot Things with the bottom out and a Hanging thing too

And I also am using a system of Drip Water to drip water on the roots

Plus I am putting some of that *Miracle Grow Tomatoes food on them every day (Not to much)

Also I put that Epson salt (Very small amount) every now and then

I also bought a small bottle of that Concentrated Vitamin stuff for plants and put a few drops in that water

They are growing

:)

P.S.

I also put a rusty bolt where they get water so they get more Iron

P.S. 2

I did set up 4 Plants for one of my Sisters, the Wal-Mart Peat Moss/Cow Manure and Air Conditioner hose with drippers(Dribblers)ad tomatoe cages

I had her get the Miracle Grow Tomato food and told her to put a very small amount on them every day(Mixed with water)

    Freckles - we can't tell from your post if you have a question or not. Are you looking for information on how to grow tomatoes? If so there is a lot of it here to read through.

    Are you open to discussing the problems with your methods or would you prefer to just experiment and see what happens?

    Beefmasters are big plants. I'm not sure how well they will do in upside down pots, but you've set up a watering system and that may help a lot. I've never put only peat moss into a pot, but I've mixed that into soil and used it. IT's a good moisture retainer.

    It is 90 percent peat moss and 10 percent cow manure

    I got it at Wal-Mart for $1.47 each big bag

    On the Hanging Thingies I have put Tomatoes and Green Peepers too :)

    I will post a Photo/s tomorrow

    Congratulations! Soon you'll have babies.

  • 14 years ago

    there are more and more Blooms

    That is Freaking me out ! :O

    P.S
    My Mom wanted me to set her up

    So I went and she had 3 pepper plants and 1 tomatoe plant

    I went and got 3 bags of that 1 percent cow manure and 90 percent peat moss and hooked up 4 dribblers from her Air Conditioner (Swamp Cooler)hose

    since I dont have time to do the every day Miracle Grow at my moms

    I got some of those tiny Miracle Grow indoor house plant fertilizer spikes and put a bunch around those plants
    (Even though they are outside plants)
    And set those up for my Mom at her house

    So I have some Tomatoes, my Sister has some at her house and my mom is now set up too

    I may or may not set some up for one of my other sisters at her house

    I'm still at a loss as to what we are discussing here, if anything. This is a discussion forum after all, not a personal gardening blog site.

    So once again I ask, what is your point? Do you have a question? Are you interested in discussing your very unusual methods? Or are you just looking for a place to post your pictures and are not interested in discussion?

    I am interested in growing Tomatoes

    And am interested in hearing other peoples ideas on how to grow them better

    I want to grow them the best I can

    Should I go to another site for Tomatoes ?

  • 14 years ago

    Hmm, crushed egg shells and tums? I guess that would work, lol. I generally go for a little bit of lime and bone meal....

    I'm guessing it's a troll.
