Trellises

I installed a few hanging ropes to help the plants grow up, that was missing. Yesterday I visited a farm in Aurov
ille that has started using Hydroponics for tomato cultivation - very interesting. He uses the normal method of two solutions that mix into a 100 liter barrel which he then drip irragates into his hydroponic containers. The containers are actually bags of coconut fiber that he punches holes into and plants the seedlings in. There is a drainage hole at the side of each bag. Water is fed in to the bag through a dripper several times a day.
