I have a 3 tomato plants and we are doing an experiment?
plant 1 is outdoors in the soil
plant 2 is in a 5 gallon bucket on front porch
Plant 3 is in homemade hydroponics set up,5 gallon bucket with basket,special rocks for medium,and distilled water with vegetable nutrients and for air we are using a fish tank pump
which plant will grow better?
it will all depend on the sunlight… water and whether or not they get blight or bugs….
we planted ours upside down this year… in a ‘topsy turvy’ kind of style…. a hole in a bucket… roots went up into the bucket which was filled with soil.. and then the bucket was hung on the clothesline poles…. and those are twice the size now than the ones that are in the garden because gravity isnt against the growth!
