My surrogate garden at work
This is the only place I grow maters in the dirt. I built this raised bed on the south facing side of the building I work in 4 years ago and keep adding horse manure and bags of bio-compost every year. This year when I turned it, it was teaming with earth worms.
I planted six plants consisting of; Blur Ridge Black Dana's Dusky Rose Monster Tomato Lillian Maciejewski's Poland Pink Claude Browns Yellow Giant Maria Amazilitel's Giant Red They took the worst of the hail storm we had last month and planted duplicates next to the original plants except for Blue Ridge Black which survived with most of it's foliage. So here's pictures taken today of my surrogate garden. Ami

That's a pretty cool place to work, that they let you plant stuff wherever you want. Throw an indica in there & see if they notice. =P

Yeah, we always joke about it. Since the compound is surrounded by a double fence with concertina wire on top and a CCTV system with a camera on top of a 100 foot tower who would notice. I'm sure the green suiters would get a hoot out of it. Ami

Perhaps a ruderalis would be more inconspicuous. =) Maybe intermingle it with some tomato branches. How deep are those beds there, Ami? I imagine you have less disease prevalence with it being a more remote locality?

Beds are 12"-16" with sandstone underneath. Were situated on top of a hill in a clearing in the middle of a forest. Havn't had much problem with disease but still treat my plants the same as the ones on the fence line at home. Ami
