I wanted to increase the moisture in the top layer of my mix so I cut out some landscapng fabric to go around the plant and then added a layer of black plastic from a trash bag on top of that. After two days I noticed moisture coming through the fabric.
I didn't realize that you had to boost the humidity that much during the pollentation phase. I guess I'll have to put a humidifer in the room with the plants during that time. I do have an electric toothbrush for hand pollentation. I also have a small makeup brush that I could use for transferring pollen from one flower to another but I hope just buzzing the flowers will be enough.
I bought the following determinate tomato seeds from TomatoFest.com. I may have choosen too many varieties considering that I would only have room for growing three plants at any one time but I wanted to see what I could do.
Beaverlodge Slicer
Black Sea Man-Heirloom
Burbank Slicing
Early Wonder
Silvery Fir Tree
Sophie's Choice
Tiny Tim
Manitoba
I like the design for the InnTainer but I think I would have to use the 14 gallon container due to the space limitation. I would only have space for three units.
