Just wondered if any of you do anything in the garden or polytunnel?I did my apprenticeship at Houghall agricultural college for three years in floriculture and Horticulture,I have grown loads of exotic plants to be honest and used a variety of mediums from coir to Hydroponics,these tomatoes are on a drip fed line.I am lucky because one of my wifes degrees is agri based so we share common interests  :smt014

Sprouts  :smt008 We were actually discussing a project last night,we have access to a farm,very cheap labour force,and contacts in various governmental offices,my wife was involved in a large scale farmers co-operative selling small farmers crops to an organic buyer in Hong Kong.As for the tomatoes,she spent back breaking hours making sure those drip feeds were unblocked and in place,I used to call her tomato woman  :smt001
