Greenhouse

Curly · December 13, 2013

Looking for some in-site on growing tomatoes in containers in greenhouse. I'm in Alberta zone 2a/3b. I can't wait for march to get plants started.

After seeing What others are able to accomplish, i am thinking 10-20g smart pots, or a drip to waste hydro system(I had issues with roots plugging drains with recirculating system). I have read so many posts here and GW that I am undecided which way to go.

I'm no gardener, DW gets us started each spring, but i end up with the responsibility middle of summer, partly why I built greenhouse . The best part of my day is starting off with a greenhouse walk through early am with coffee in hand, don't get much better then that.

I grew tomatoes last year in greenhouse, using a recirculating hydroponic approach(5g pail, 10" netpots). Greenhouse is 12x22. Had good results but looking to improve for next year, I chose a hydroponic system, Reducing attention required when I'm not around during the summer. I go fishing on BC coast for 5-7days each month during the summer.

Looking for ideas, keep it simple as I am 3hrs from any gardening centre
