I finally made it to Steubers early enough on a Saturday that they were still open. I bought 200 feet of 3/4" mainline tubing, and a bag of fittings. Drippers and sprayers I can get from Home Depot and Dripworks online.

Unfotunately, I got a bag olf chicken grit but did not look at it until I got home. Calcium carbonate (olyster shell?) instead of crushed granite! I won't be ading that to the pine bark in my tomato buckets! I read that excess calcium encourages some tomato diseasze or condition (end blight??)

It sure is late in the year for starting tomatoes, but these have been in smaller pots on my deck for around a month. 1/2 gallon? 3/4 gallon?
