Since we have a few serious tomato growers here, you may want to know
that it's seed-buying time at Rutgers for classic New Jersey tomatoes: http://njfarmfresh.rutgers.edu/JerseyTomato.html These are F1 hybrids and you won't find them in seed stores. I've grown the Ramapos, and they're excellent. Cambell's 146 (KC146) is the one you ate in Cambell's tomato soup as a kid. It's claimed to have excellent flavor as a table tomato, too.

I'm going to try "Mr. Stripey" again this year. It's one hard strain of tomato to grow, but has a better taste than anything I've ever grown. Prone to every tomato disease/blight/rot known from my experience. I'm giving it one more try.

I got Fusarium Wilt in my area. I have yet to find a variety that doesn't succumb to it.

I don't know anything about Amelia, either, but it's supposed to be very disease resistant, including all three types of Fusarium, and it does well in the Southeast. -- Ed Huntress |

David =============== Didn't buy a "system," although in retrospect it would have been cheaper. Bought the bits and pieces as I needed them. Biggest cost is the lights and you can piecemeal that if desired, adding lights as the plants grow. While I am growing on a limited tabletop indoors, hydroponics looks like the "wave of the future" for many outdoor crops as it uses between 5 and 10% of the water and recycles most of the nutrients / fertilizers, minimizing costs and run-off, in addition to eliminating large amounts of hand labor, e. g. weeding, soil prep, etc. -- Unka' George "Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants, but debt is the money of slaves" -Norm Franz, "Money and Wealth in the New Millenium" |

You can tell a sodium light by the orange hue. Well, it depends on the pressure. Low-pressure Sodium lamps are yellow, not orange. One sees these lights a lot. I also recall people using sodium-calcium many decades back - these had an orangish color. This may have been the original Lucalox design.

We built a real nice grow area over the water pressure tanks in the corner of the basement. Now have two high pressure sodium lights for a 6' x 4' grow area. I'd guess double the light intesity of mid day summer sun. Got Milday a water wand and I'm going to set up a sump pump to pump water through a hose for watering. hard for her to reach all the way to water the plants in back. Note: we don't use well water for the plants. They know its not as good as snow melt or fresh rain water caught in the downspout. We been at this grow your own plants 30 years now, still finding ways to do it just a bit better. Karl |

The electric bill shot up and the power company called if they could come to test our meter... Ha! That was in Kalifornia if you know what I mean... Martin Drought in 1990... I installed a large well and 15Hp irrigation pump. REA called and asked to come check things out because there was no way the meter was working right. BTW, the best info on indoor growing comes from pot growers. They are very serious about perfecting growing conditions. Karl |
