2012 planting in my vertical tower. Heirloom tomatoes & 2 types of basil. Plus plans for a bigger growbed in June to plant a bunch of different veggies.

Fall AP Update - Tower Down, New Filter Design

2011-10-31T20:53:49.470Z

New video of my latest filter re-design. It's the largest and most efficient filter I've built yet. It provides O2, a large bacteria bed, a dry area for sensitive crowns & possibly more room for a larger colony of worms (on order)

Mid Summer Tomato Vine Update 7-10-11

Tomato vine is around 7 feet tall and BURSTING with fruit! There is one totally ripe one in the video that I ate right after, and it tasted AMAZING!!! Nitrates in the water have dropped to zero from the fruit production, so feeding is now twice a day

Tomato vine update - it's 5 feet tall

The tomato plant in my grow tower has not only grown, but is producing an amazing number of flowers. Temperature in the PNW has been increasing, and I think that has solved my blossom drop problem. Fruit has begun to set on the vine, and is growing everyday.

Red worms also added to my main filter

The main filter of my tank is doing very well. It is it's own little ecosystem...I have three different kinds if snails living in it cleaning up the solids in the crevices...they also end up dying in there when they get to big to crawl out. They decay and add nutrients & calcium back to the system - the eggs they laid hatch, and it starts over again. This clean up crew needs some help on the inside and on top where the snails don't go. I have some decaying vegetation and roots that could use some clean up - they are not growing any mold or fungus, which is good - so I figured I could leave them there for worms, and reep the rewards of worm castings for my system.
