Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I live in an aprtment with a NW facing balcony, up in North Dakota. I had some concerns about getting enough sunlight for tomatoes, but went ahead and tried it out. What do you know, it worked OK! However... there were a couple of things I had to do to achive success.
I bought "determinate" type tomatoes. This is what the horticulturist at our local University told me to use. I'm not really sure what that means, but he has a PHD and I don't.
I used the "moisture control" potting soil. This helped with water retention. You will still need to fetrilize, due to the fact that there just isn't enough soil to support 3 good sizes tomato plants. I also used a copper soap based anti-disease spreay(Ortho)to fight off blight and rot.
I would water the plants every morning, and when I did I would rotate the tree by 1/3 to expose annother plant to direct sunlight (my porch only gets 4-6 hours of it a day). I would not reccomend this product to anyone who can't afford to really give it the attention it needs. if you go 3-4 days between waterings, the plants have a good chance of dying. Water 1-2 times a day, depending on your direct sunlight level.
Stick to the 3 plant plan, as I said before, there just isn't enough soil. I did not have any issues with the fabric bag as others seemed to have. This might be due to soil/water acidity, I don't know. The sponge plant retainers did get torn up due to small roots growing into them, but I can replace those with a suitable substitue.
I am looking forward to growing again this year! Hope this helped!
