#cherrytomatoes

Mechanical part of the mission accomplished.

Finished the wooden box from discarded fruit box on the street, added 2 black plastic bags that I had since I moved, put the 2 x 5L water bottles with their Tiny Tim tomato plants in them, used a T split for the airpump and tested it to make sure the flow was enough to keep the roots hydrated preventing them from root rot and will cover the box with aluminum foil before adding the solar panels and voltage regulators into the system.

Already picked 5 cherry tomatoes from the larger plant and the smaller one has some 20+ flowers which I'm hoping to turn into juicy tomatoes soon.

Took longer than expected, but I'm happy about the results.

Next, getting the electrical parts ready.

One Tiny Tim Cherry Tomato in, 3 more to go.

This one is from my earlier experiment with growing tomatoes in different medium. Since it was growing in clay balls, it was easy to remove the old medium and put it in a mesh cup with perlite for her new home in the Dutch bucket unit.

The other 3 were in soil, so it takes time to clean up their roots, disinfect them with hydrogen peroxide and then place them in a 5cm mesh cup.
