First time gardener here and I grew those last summer in 2 gallon pals and was amazed at how many tomatoes I harvested. Really shocking to me they grew that well in 2" of soil, that gives me some ideas! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us newbie gardeners learning off of Youtube!

Hi Gary,
You always say that we don't need different colored lights and that they are for other purposes. Could you perhaps do a video where you go more in depth to why they exist/what they are better at/costs? Perhaps you have tried them and still have them and could compare results using regular shop lights versus the others. 😊

I am growing tiny tim, orange hat, and dwarf patio tomatoes under growlights. I am also growing sungold cherry tomatoes vertically indoors. We have fresh cherry tomatoes daily to add to our salads.

The grow bags are a great idea as are the tins. I am so thankful for all your gardening lessons.

Worm castings don't really provide much in the way of fertilizer npk what worm castings do is allow the plants to make better use of the fertilizer in the soil. Also they strengthen the plants immune systems

You may have said, but why lay tham on their side.
Also question. What is a good determinate yellow tomato to grow in a container?.
Thanks for your videos

[willsolarski]

Great content! Sometimes it's eerie how I will be thinking about something and then the same day you release a video on it!

Side note -directly below your video was a Roots and Refuge video about the same topic posted today- growing season is getting close! :D

I think you need to specify that these are micro dwarf tomatoes. I started looking into the dwarf tomato project and am starting to grow them. Those dwarf tomatoes can still get to 4-6 feet tall.

BTW you should look into the dwarf tomato project. Would love to see your thoughts and try some varieties

[malloryfay]

Pls talk more about veg goring indoors w no natural light!

[Junzar]

Growing microdwarf tomatoes during the winter is great! You get fresh tomatoes that taste great. I love Jochalos, Chibikko, Rosy Finch, Cherry Falls, Pinocchio, Orange Hat . soooo good! I have a cheap electric toothbrush on my grow shelf’s. I touch the branches and the toothbrush shakes the pollen

[cindyjensen]

Off topic...how would I attach hardware cloth to the bottom of metal raised beds? I have so many voles!

[chrisfisher]

I grow my slicers in the garage. Don’t have enough time in spring/summer so they can set fruit and ripen before the sun cooks the crap out of them.

This is very helpful for people who like me who are confused about lighting and find it a bit expensive to invest in some of the grow products out there. Does lumens matter? I saw a 10, 000 lumen light at Walmart but it looks like the ones you use might be 5, 000 lumens based off your Amazon page

[gretchendavis]

With the price of electricity going up monthly. 🤔

[BrightestBlessings]

Mine will be started indoors in March. Your plants look great! Beautiful job! Could alfalfa meal be added as an amendment to a tomatoe/pepper garden. This is their first year in this garden. Last year it grew peas, pumpkin with calendula and summer savory.

Thanks for the video. I've started these seeds already underneath my grow lights. Looking forward to eating them. 😁Thanks Gary. 🌱

[jolenesgarden]

Great idea! While I like the quart size grow bags, they are kinda hard to take plants out of to plant outside. This is a great way to use them! Makes me wonder what else can go in them through the winter to play indoors while we wait lol

[barryganslein]

Such an interesting and informative video, I’m in awe of how such inexpensive lighting works so well.
