Diluted sea water........ The next import business across the fruited plain...
I wonder if the mixture used to make water for salt water aquariums would do the same thing set at a 12% level?

Any kind of water I’ve used, iron water, lime water, softened water, etc., eventually seems to screw up the soil and growth of the plant.
It might still give the boost to the tomatoes they are talking about because of the minerals in it. With all the trace mineral fertilizers out there I myself wouldn’t risk mineraled or salt water destroying the soil.

I wonder how much Snow Cats are selling for these days? It’s pretty clear these guys are going to have to invest in some additional capital items to fill your request!

I can do better than that. Skip the diluted sea water and watch your tomatoes grow while drinking a pint of Guinness Stout. Much higher in antioxidants.

It’s easy....just hang the plants up in the garage (somewhere it doesn’t freeze) before a freeze happens outside.....

Nothing beats home-grown tomatoes. Nothing. Yep.
Ain't nothing better'n home-growed tomaters.
Eat 'em with grits,
Eat 'em with gravy.
Eat 'em with beans,

5 tomatoes a day, what amount of a lycopene supplement would be equivalent?
