Do not, repeat, do not put tomato plants in a 4" pipe!
Just a friendly mental safety alert
I think it is time to break it apart and fish me out some roots. The pipe is solid with tomato roots and overflows no matter how I adjust the system. It is going thru about 50 gals a day and I can not afford the nutes to keep replacing it everyday. However the plants are doing great, growing everyday and I have baby tomatoes and lots of flowers all all the plants. I probably should have trimmed them sooner as they are getting a little thick, but I'm learning as I go. All the other plants in the system are doing well also and they are not clogging it up. Next crop will be in the barrels or buckets or at least a 8" pipe. Crazy plants!
