Found aot of tiny bugs in the water container, washed it off and have to look for them more often. That is the problem with organic gardening. Hard to fight the bugs that are not on the leaves or branches.
2 months later, and several kilos of comatose later, one of them has passed 2m in height, despite my attempt to keep it low.
I have over 300 flowers on each plant and there seems to be no end to how much longer it keeps growing.
6L of water per day using a 2L milk bottle with a small hole in it to slowly feed the plant with water and occasionally giving some organic liquid fertilizer has done magic to my tomatoes again.
Super cheap (15 euro for 2, 50 liter bags of soil) and 6 euro for metal beams and wires to hold them up and together is all that i spent.
When i have a yard, the watering system will be controlled by a raspberry pi zero and some cheap electronics from AliExpress so i don't need to water them 3 times a day.
Great investment and trial to grow organic tomatoes on my balcony. They also cool down the place during the heatwaves and attract a lot of bees.

Using paper towel makes it dry fast and clean. It also makes it possible to mail it all over the world using normal envelopes.
The system is fool proof and i have been doing it since 2018.
I will make a few more of these to save and take with me to Ghana. It will be fun to introduce a new tomato to schools and orphanages and to help them grow their own tomatoes in the kitchen and classrooms.
