Good system to get started.
5 Stars
Good system to get started.
I have read many of the reviews here and thought it might be helpful to add my experience with this system. I got delivery in early May (Minnesota) and set up the system in a few minutes. I bought a single Rutgers tomato plant for two bucks at Fleet Farm, rinsed off roots and planted it on May 15th. A week later there were an abundance of roots coming out of the basket and the plant continued to grow at a very healthy rate until it reached about 6 foot tall. We were able to eat 38 tomatoes (threw out an additional 10 for blossom rot) from the single plant. The largest was 19.3 ounces but most were about 15 ounces. They tasted excellent. The last tomato was taken on August 13 and the first was July 28th. Some problems: End Blossom Rot showed up and this is caused by either a lack of water availability or by a lack of calcium. The plant always had plenty of water so it was a calcium problem which was solved by crushing a Tums and mixing with water in a misting container. I sprayed the plant about every week to ten days and the Rot problem ended. Problem: Once the plant grew large, I could not look inside the bucket to see the water level. The outside tube is very hard to see through to see the water level so I used a dowel like a dip stick in the tube to find the level. Problem: In July when the plant is growing it takes a lot of water (up to 2 - 3 gallons a day) so I had to get a neighbor to come over each day for a week while I was on vacation to add the water. I used a tomato cage attached to the bucket with a bunge and then attached to my deck railing with another bunge. I used a long necked funnel bunged in the cage to add the water. The system takes some work and is not a plant and forget. Nutrients need to be added and mixed and the water level has to be maintained. Prior to trying this system, I had a straw bale garden. In many ways, it was a lot less work. After saying this, I plan on adding another bucket next season for an additional and different tomato species. I would say that the system quality was quite good and I had no issues with the air pump or any leaking. This was my first hydroponic experience. Last year I couldn’t even spell it. :)
