Looking amazing as always Raybo!
I'm still using earthtainers, though after this season, I'm going to have to retire them and build new ones as the plastic is toast...but I got many years of awesome service out of them and countless tomatoes. BTW, what is the latest greatest final update on your construction guide? This year has been unique in the Dallas area with rain falling and cool temps for most days for the last 6 weeks. Had to do some serious pruning to try to get early blight and other diseases under control. So far, so good, but, tomatoes do not love an almost always wet environment! Take care bud! Dewayne. |

Hey Dewayne,
The EarthTiner Guide has not changed in 7 years - still Version 3.9. I will attach it here. Try to find the 31 gallon totes made by Centrex Corp. Mine have lasted 8 years and going strong. Remember, you can reuse all the internals from your old EarthTainers - just replace the outer container only. Raybo ![]() |

Anne,
I think we owe a big "Thank You" to RayR over there in trendy, downtown, Cheektowaga for turning us on to AgroThrive! It has made a huge improvement in my crop so far this Season. I'll continue to apply it all Summer. Raybo ![]() |

Raybo,
I agree! I don't want to jinx things, but it did cross my mind that maybe the surprising lack of blossom drop (so far ![]() ![]() Anne |
