Tomato feeding
« on: July 06, 2013, 18:38 »
I have a 45 gallon water butt with a tap on the bottom, i was thinking of putting some tomato feed liquid in that  and would make it up to the amount and i have run a  pipe to the inside of my greenhouse with a tap.
The only thing i can see as a problem would be if it rains and fills up after i have used half.
I'm lost without my SatNav.

Trouble is that you probably would not use it fast enough and it would turn green.

I for got to add, as well as my greenhouse toms (6) i will be using it on 12 large hanging baskets and some flower tubs.
Its a shame i had to give up my allotment through ill health but can now manage a small GH in my garden so now reduced to small tasks.

Caretaker, just do what you're doing!

6 toms aren't going to die from over feeding with the stuff you mention, so just don't worry!

I'm sorry you can't do the sort of gardening you'd like to do, but with toms, well, 'Bob's your Auntie'"
