Zipcode, looks like she found her answer here: http://www.tomatoville.com/showthread.php?t=51180

This past weekend was the one month mark, and, it appears to be working - the tomatoes are healthy (so many aphids though), lots of fruit set, but probably another 30-45 days from first harvest. I'm manually adding water every other day into the tube, and I had to surround the bucket bases with tape/tanglefoot to keep the ants out. Meantime, we've already picked our first squash and cucumbers.. I did not realize they grow so fast, 16" squash after 32 days from 1" transplant seedlings?! They taste fantastic, too. This is great, I'm now much more positive about tomatoes after so much failure!
