Tam,
I am doing this on somewhat of a lark to see what develops. Kind of boreing here in (rainy) northern California this time of year, so this project will give me something to keep interested in.
These Lowes racks worked outperfectly to each hold three 18 gallon InnTainers. Regarding taste, no container Grow Media can ever fully replicate the "in-ground" environment - but compared to the ones sold at A&P this time of year, I'll take container grown ones any day.
My big unknown now is giving the plants the right amount of artificial light - without burning them. "MJ" may have some guidance on this, hopefully related to tomatoes. Next, will be trying to set the right fertilization schedule. On half of them I am using 1 cup Tomato-tone embedded in a centralized fertilizer strip. On the other three, I am going to use liquid applications of FoxFarm GrowBig, then later Big Bloom. Fun stuff!!
