Hi UG,

 

Superb!!!!

 

Lots of toms in the lower half and plenty of flowers as we go higher. Loved it. I would be happy if I can get half as much with my setup.at

 

What seeds are they?

 

I have some Marmande beefsteak that I have transplanted a week ago that has already started flowering. Currently I am hand feeding as my drip system is yet to be fully functional.

Hi Srikanth,

 

Thanks ! I hope you get double the qty.  I have similar produce in 14in Cocopeat pots and 6in hanging basket. By the end of the season will be able to figure out the best, cost effective and space saving way.

The seeds variety in DWC is  Tezier Cherry Tomatoes .

 

Marmande beefsteak ! awesome man. Just waiting to try them out. handfeeding is really very difficult as half of my setup too is being hand fed.

 

So when is the growbag setup expected to be complete ? All the best.

 

Happy Growing !

Your tomatoes  and Strawberries are simply awesome.  Hope I am also lucky with strawberries.  I have planted them only last week.  Hope to see some fruits in Feb.

How much calcium nitrate can I give the toms which are in the fruiting stage. I give 2 -3 gms of NPK and 2 gms. of Magnesium sulphate per week.  They are in soil.

Great gardening by you

hello UG,

your strawberries are awesome. I am sure it can inspire anyone to grow veggies at home.

I have been trying to look for the resources to start growing veggies in soilless medium…..

have not had luck in even getting cocopeat here in gurgaon.

Could you please help me with the locations of the places in delhi where i can get cocopeat , growbags and water soluble nutrients.

I have a balcony and plan to sow spinach tomato and methi.

Thanks.

sir,

 

i'm very much new to kitchen gardening, and interested in growing tomatoes in the container, my prob is that the plants has grown well upto a height of about 3 feet, but they are not bearing fruits, and the leaves are now yellow, with white fungus like loose deposits on the stem.

 

i have got few questions:-

 

the size of the container is  about 20 ltrs.

 

what kind of fertiliser should be applied and whats the best combination of  potting soil for tomato and okra plants?

 

where can i get the best supply of nutients?

 

and lastly whats the way of fertilising the plants ( i mean the process, frequency etc)

 

thanks in adv
