Rigged Support for the Big Tomato Plants

The aquaponic tomato plant is getting huge.  Not only that, but it also has three unripe tomatoes developing nicely already.  Both the potted tomato (remember that one used to be the “big one”) needed additional support, so I rigged up some bamboo as a horizontal support and used this nice covered wire material to act as the vertical support.

I also needed to transplant the potted tomato as it had obviously outgrown its former container.  There is some curling of the leaves near the top of both big plants, but it is more prominent on the potted plant.  We added a nice layer of home made worm castings on top of the potting soil to give it some extra nutrition and natural fertilizer.
