Autopots

I am really impressed by my Autopots system.  I am amazed how much they have grown since the last time I updated a month ago.  Canna coco and nutrients are great in the Autopot system.

Here is my Cherokee Purple heirloom tomato.  Notice how the garden is far away from the beast in the background.

This is a green pepper.  They usually are more stretched than this, but this one is growing compact and bushy.

I have lots of patio tomatoes this year, so I did an experiment and fed this one Canna Boost foliarly.   As you can see, it is a lush green and the bloom set is amazing.  No other patio tomato that I have outdoors is that far along in maturity.

And this is Ella, staring at a squirrel.

  2. Hey Rob-

    For how much she bounces around the yard and destroys anything sticking out of the ground, you wouldn’t be able to tell that she eats 8 cups of food a day. She’s a cutie.

    The autopots really do work great, the plants look very healthy. I could sure use a squirrel eating dog around my place.

  4. @ Dan-

    Autopots are rad, although you have to dial the ppm’s down to 4-500, because they aren’t drain to waste and require flushing them every week or two.

    You are welcome to a few half-rott, half-lab squirrel eating dogs if you want. They are the best farm dogs EVAR.
