Growing tomatoes in pots, 15" dia. and 15" tall sitting on a concrete
slab (base for a screenhouse that blew away) maintains heat during
the night. Growing six different varieties, doing quite well only found
2 w/blossom end rot. The plants are protected with cages made from
concrete re-enforcing mesh five feet high and anchored to the slab
most plants are a foot above the cages. BUT MY QUESTION IS:
I have a drip system each pot is fed with a ..35 gph dripper. The timer
is set for ten minutes out of every hour starting at 11:AM to 4:PM.
Seems like a lot but the plants wilt if it is set for less. What is the
recommended method?
