I must apologize for the long pause from my updates. I had a great crop last year and will have another good crop this year. I already will pick my first tomato today which is the earliest I have ever picked a large tomato.
I currently have about 25 deep water culture tomato plants and several DWC hot peppers. However I am rapidly converting to a new system called "Dutch Buckets". It is much easier to work with. Once you set it up the system pretty much runs itself. I am into my third week now, and this system really does "kick butt". The very first week, my plants doubled in size. Today is my third week, and the growth continues. I now have 10 buckets with 7 tomatoes, and two tomato clones, and one ghost pepper.
I have already started construction of my next system, which will have 15 buckets. Next year I hope to have 50 or more dutch buckets.
Stay tuned in and I will give you a step-by-step process on how easy it is to build this system.
