Can tomatoes or other heavy crops be grown in the Floating Garden Hydroponic Gardening kits?
For the Regular and Advanced kits the answer is “Yes”. The Floating Garden Kitchen Garden Kit doesn’t have the reservoir capacity to make tomato growing feasible. As stand-alone units, the Regular and Advanced Floating Garden Hydroponic Garden kits should primarily be used to grow annual plants that don’t have heavy stems and leaf systems (i.e. lettuce, chards, basil, thyme, oregano, chili peppers, etc.) For these types of plants the plant bed will quite adequately support the plants during their growth cycle. As the kits do not come with a superstructure for supporting vines or for supporting plants with heavy fruit (like tomatoes), supports need to be improvised to support these crops. There is no reason why tomatoes, eggplant, cucumbers and gourds (for example) can not be grown with the regular and advanced kits as long as you provide an independent support structure or trellis positioned above your hydroponic garden. We, in fact, grow tomatoes by tieing the plants to overhead suppo
