Re:Half planter and half worm pit. - 2008/05/10 16:06
I never grew anything in the bedding, but have thought alot about it. One year I did fertilize my tomatoes with some castings...well...err alot of castings 
And the tomato plants grew to epic proportions! They were the biggest tomato plants I ever saw, and lookin healthier than any ive ever grown. But, there was a reaction to the castings I did not anticapate.
They never ever produced one tomato, or any flowers. They just grew as large as trees!! I was told by a master gardener that they produce fruit to continue the life cycle of a tomato. But if there is nothing threatening to end their life, they will continue to grow. I am still not totally convinced this is why they did what they did, as im no scientist. But believe the castings are an awesome product that will inspire and surprise you.
These plants not only grew, they thrived through a winter, and then produced the best tomatoes we have ever experienced the next season. It was the weirdest thing! Not only did the tomatoes survive the winter, but so did the half a dozen marigolds planted around them.
Please let us all know how that little experiment goes.
Worms are fascinating!
