5 Star Eye Candy again very nice. Let me wipe the drool off my face. Great thread about slicers aerogardenaddicts.com/thread/4255/slicing-tomatoes-8-4-23I had good luck with Paul Robersons(slicer) in the Farm which has the same height limit as the Bounty. I would only grow one maybe 2 if you want to see which one does better. If your willing to hang a light or, use a taller stand you can Bypass the 2 foot restriction and get a 100 watt light for like $60 and go 3 or 4 feet and get more Toms. That is of course after you max your height. I am growing some Cherry Toms in the farm and at 43 days I just maxed the light height.

Clovis is the "LETTUCE KING!" Try some Mizuna. It's a nice "weed" for your salads. Grows really fast in an AG and has a nice crunchy taste.
Thanks, but as many a philosopher and scientist has said -- I stood on the shoulders of giants.Everything I know about this stuff I learned from you good people, so a hearty "Thank ye" to all.I'll look into Mizuna. I'm looking into watercress, too, because I like those little sandwiches. (I am following pfunnyjoy's Watercress Garden in Harvest Slim Elite with great interest.)
I'm not sure I've done Mizuna in an AG, but I've done it outside and liked it! AND ... I have some pink Mizuna seeds from Baker Creek, and hope to start a garden with those in the near future.
