Hi Mantis,

Looking good mate, It's a jungle out there!

Don't worry about looking like a prize,well you know what, I get called a right tosser every day lol,who cares?

If your plants are doing OK leave the pH as it is eh?

Cheers.

Thanks Bigdaddy
If anyone is wondering why I havent got tomatoes in the beds, they are in the greenhouse/shadehouse in wicking tubs. All the plants in the pic are up to the roof and I will have to start training them along the horizontal ropes and mesh. They all have fruit on as well.
varieties:
Soldaki
Andrew Raharts Jumbo Red
Aunt Ginny
Juanne flammee
Costroulie
Cherokee Purple
Brandywine

Well no - but they look great - have you used a tub in a tub for the design? looks pretty simple might give one a go.

Sorry BB I missed your post. Yes they are a tub in another tub. Some pics might clear it up

Bottom of top tub with hundreds of small aeration holes, large hole to fit the wicking black pot that also has holes drilled in the sides, and another hole for the pvc pipe that fills the water resevoir

Wow Brocoli looks awesome, Mine leaves are Bloody Huge, Guessing due to the fact they were in during cycling and cool temps.

Hoping to get some more in soon...

The corn Race is on =]
