Nice tomato, what tomato variety was it?

I've used some of the information out there in the weed world and applied it to vegetable growing. I have used Roots Organics 707 in the past it's not bad, I also used Big Rootz and it good to but the problem is that I have to ship both product and shipping costs more than the soil so that...

Here is a look at some of this year's tomatoes. Seeds were planted the 3rd of April. The medium used is a mix I been working on for the last couple of years and I think it is working out purity well. The medium consists of: Peat, Cocoa Coir, Fine Pumice, Small Lava Stone, Pare Boiled Rice...

@ninnymary I been putting it off for some time but, maybe I'll do a Side by Side test of Big Rootz, My Soil Mix, Fox Farms Ocean and Forest and Miracle Grow to see how they compare to each other. Maybe I'll make 4 "EarthBox" that have a self watering system, fill each "EarthBox" with a...

It very nice looking soil. I got a few bag about 5 years ago and loved it. I would have kept using it but shipping was very expensive.

Your welcome, You should be good with just that but you could add say a hand full red wigglers to the soil and mulch with some straw. If you want to go full living soil you could get some Azospirillum and Aminos too top dress the soil but that can be done anytime of the year. As a tip, once you...

I've been using Aminos in the garden for a few years now, stumbled upon it wile reading and watching videos on living soils. Aminos make a huge difference, they make for a more vigorous plant, stems are thicker and stronger, leaves are over all bigger and more thicker and the over all growth of...

The closest to BigRootz might be Nectar of the Gods - Nectar Soil #4 or #8 This list you could try, but they have perlite in them and over all there not going to as good as the two listed above. GreenGro - Earthshine Premium Potting Soil Purple Cow - IndiCanja FoxFarms - Ocean Forest (I would...

I mix my own, I use 1/3 Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss 1/3 Aeration 1/3 Compost. I use a good quality Peat and I don't strain it (leave the small twigs in). The Aeration I use is equal parts small black lava stone, pumice par boiled rice hulls and bio-char (Don't use Perlite, it will break down or...

There are a number of reasons for going with a bigger pot. A bigger container holds more soil which means you hold more water longer and in turn water less often. A bigger container with more soil tend to protect the roots better on a hot day. A plant in a larger container will tend to have...

Molasses won't 'sweeten' your soil. It can actually lower the pH of the soil.

Just a quick update, everything is looking good and the tomatoes are setting lots of bud. The tomatoes are still growing very fast, average height is right around 36 to 48 inches. That's about 16 inches a month or right around 1/2 inch per day. If I remember correctly I counted 40 buds on the...

Sorry late getting back with you, had to swing past the farm after work. A lot of people underestimate the size of containers you need, you could get buy with smaller size containers but 1 you will be watering a lot and 2 your plants just wont do as well. For container I highly recommend...

@Michigan_Nick I'm at work now but I'll try to post a little more lengthy post when I get off tonight but I have had plenty of good luck growing in containers [fabric pots] but you have to more than enough room for your plants to grow. Pepper in no less than a 5 gallon container better would be...

Ok, here's the pictures. Here are some pictures of the stems, suckers that are growing off the leaf stem.
