Tomatoes In "Soil Sausages"

newtraditionsfarm · May 3, 2014

Believe it or not these bad-boys have only been planted in the bags for two weeks (from 3" pots).

From wild idea to proven technology in two weeks! All we did is make a 16' long form out of 2 x 12's, lay 6' woven landscaping fabric in the form and zip tie them shut.

Here's the mix (Per 16' Bag):

#3.5 3.8 Cubic Foot Bags of Potting Soil (We use TH-1 w/Actino Iron, Pro-Mix will work)

#2 Cubic Feet of Vermiculite

#3 5 Gallon Buckets of Leaf Mould Compost

16 Cups of Fertilizer Blend (Crab Shell Flour, Chicken Feather Meal, Fossilized Seabird Guano, Sulfate of Potash & Azomite)

Will keep you updated on the progress! I'll be planting 350 more tomatoes in this manner in the coming weeks.
