Problems growing tomatoes
#4
I grow my tomatoes in a screen house. I am currently using Burpee's better boy, an indeterminate that produces baseball to softball size fruit as well as Juliette hybrids a football shaped tomato that produces fruit about 1 to 1 1/2" long. both do extremely well here, The vines in my greenhouse here in Nanawale have been producing fruit since june 09 and are still going strong. I have two raised beds approx. 4'x16' by 5". used soil from Glenwood and added 3 bags of gromulch per bed. I use 2gph drip emitters and water for 15 minutes every 3 days. Made the screen house from a portable garage enclosure from Costco. Screened the sides with screen from greenhouse specialist in Keaau and put 4 mill poly film on the roof. Hope this helps, it really works for us, have kept the neighbors and friends in tomatoes since June.
