An Experiment of SORTS
Eight plants in Limited Media Volume
The volume of media for each plant is limited to 1 gallon. When the temperatures are
high, and the plants are in full production, feedings at 20 to 30 minute intervals
are required.
This ONE plant has some unusual growth characteristics. First, it is very
vigrous and productive. The root system has virtually filled the media to
the point it will not drain. I resorted to using a long slender screwdriver
and punching holes in the media and root ball. Next I outboarded a larger
media container. 17 holes of 5/8 inch diameter were drilled so the roots
could access the added media. The plant has 22 to 24 feet of main stem
at the present. If I manage to keep it alive, the years growth should
reach 40 to 50 feet and the number of tomatoes will total over 2000.
Note the branching of the clusters. Many clusters branch into 3 or 4
clusters. When the clusters branch, the number of tomatoes per cluster
will be from 30 to 40.
