That was a question for AKMark, though anyone feel free to answer. Sorry, haven't figured out yet how to quote the comment in my reply.

No, compost is not so good in containers, I use Pro Mix HP. We want everything as perfect as possible, from the tomato fertilizer formula, to the exact strength used at each stage of plant growth. Everything has already been calculated for us, we can, and do, send in leaf samples to make sure we are on track too. |

![]() .. you're getting this kind of result in that small space? Simply amazing. Do you have any post on here showing your setup? I'd be interested in seeing that, as I've been considering trying to setup an auto-watering system for my plants in pots/buckets.

Hatgirl, It looks like Mega Bite is a hybrid, you haven't tried to stabilize it have you? That's some decent sized tomatoes (sites are quoting 4-6oz's) for that size of plant.
What size tomatoes did you get when you grew it? Al Last edited by Al@NC; March 23, 2018 at 12:48 AM. |

I got my first set of seeds from Nicky's Nursery and my second set (haven't sown them yet) from Kings Seeds. Neither say that it's an F1, but it might be. I haven't grown any from saved seed yet. |

For those of us in Canada, it looks like there's a place in Ottawa selling Mega Bite:
http://www.richmondnursery.com/index...mato-mega-bite Nevermind, I just saw this site sells plants.. This site offers it, but charges $10 shipping to Canada from the states... https://www.swallowtailgardenseeds.com/veggies/cherry.html Al Last edited by Al@NC; March 23, 2018 at 04:01 PM. |
