    Hi,

    Just been looking though the 2016 Tomato thread but not seen any reference to hydrophonics.

    Seen a lot of US ytubes about wonderful crops grown that way but while the hardware does not look too complex its the feed that sounds complicated.

    Wondered if any member here has tried it and with what results ?

    Again interested to know if you can grow that way with a simple feeding regime without resorting to ph meters etc.

    Also read some reports where the taste of hydophonically grown toms can be a bit unsual / bland .

    For a small UK greenhouse, is it really worth it ?

    thanks

    Does that mean I can play The Eagles or Pink Floyd to my Tomatoes?
