Hi, all, I'm new to Tomatoville & am into all things tomato; particularly growing in containers & under shelters (bad blight problem here). Here's my main growing site: (12) individual pots with a communal wicking reservoir & a (redundant) drip system. A float switch & timer keep the 4-inch PVC tank full at all times; in very hot weather the timed drip system kicks in to keep the wicks from failing. I use a well-draining mix of non-soil potting mix, 1/3 perlite (& compost, of course) so over-watering is practically impossible. My Lucite roof system is removable for the off-season. The second photo is my indoor plant for this year, a Park's Whopper loaded with 'maters in my sunroom, my indoor plants usually produce into January.
