High-stress growing

[Hamdrew]

Simple concept, the more you stress the harder she works. Water can legitimately become a cost issue (those tomatillos required about 2-3gal water, 4x daily). Using whatever regular soil you do is fine, but you can try adding in some sand or other well-draining anhydrous medium to your soil (a la "hydroponic")

Those Cherry Tomatoes got about 8-9ft tall before their big fruiting, ended up ~5ft up & 5+ft down. That cooler is there because the (huge, very much grape-like) clusters would've been on the porch, otherwise.


....And those are my brothers tools/deck(+cooler) he let rot that ive repurposed for my madness endeavors; Waste not want not, lol.

lotta info on it! but yup, nerd-growing stuff. lol. kinda like growing "by feel" but the reward for a minimal added effort (especially if you have limited space/plants) is well-worth it, IMO
