My first Hydro Garden Dutch Bucket / NFT

Awesome set up, only thing bad about living in Missouri, i can't grow year round outside. Part of my problem in my other discussion. Def. wish i would have found this forum before i got started would have probably saved me a ton of work.

Hey Freshwater, wife wanted me to ask you about how many pounds worth of tomatoes from you big mater's do you get from the time they start producing till the time you destroy them? Just a rough estimate.

This is fantastic! do you cover the plants in the rain? I have wanted to start an outdoor grow this year but I am worried about the rain filling my pots and then flooding my reservoir. Have you had this problem?

Hey guys,

No idea on poundage of fruit collected...it's a bunch...

I've not needed to cover the plants yet...we don't really get that heavy of rain here is Sunny San Diego ;-) but, this year I did set up the frame to do so if i need.

As for rain and the bucket, hell...it's free water. I don't mind at all, takes me a good amount of time to fill R.O. water. Here again I don't get rain like some of you get.
