Easy DIY hydroponics. Can a tomato save your life, this one did. This film will make you laugh, cry and maybe even get inspired. Explore hydroponics as I take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. This film is dedicated to my friend Tommy, the tomato.
Update on the tomato fertilizer experiment we started a few weeks ago but was postponed because we felt the need to draw attention to the E Coli outbreak so that all of our friends in the USA would know about it.
My EBook shows how to do this and many other exciting projects: https://www.etsy.com/listing/615008659/keep-on-growin-ebook

Keep on Growin’ with Mike VanDuzee

love the turtle, the doggies and love Tommy but above all I love the message you are spreading here Mike – so much wisdom and inspiration <3 So important to realise the importance of story telling… so much emotions for poor Tommy and I bloody hate tomatoes….
Awesome video Mike,,,, RIP Tommy….. 🙏🙏,,, but amazing life message… 👍👍😀😀✌
Hahaha I love this video. Especially the funeral with the parents and friends. Glad I watched because I added more nutrients yesterday because the look whimmy.
Amazing story, such talent, an artistic modern farmer!
Dangit Man! I had this on my Playlist but had to leave the room for a spell. When I came back in the middle of it….I thought your Dog had died or something awful!!! (I recently lost my cat of 13 years and burried him in our yard, so of coursr my mind went there…) You are a nutty goober, y'know that!? Anyway, thanks for the vids.
Lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love this my friend.
Is a big cherry tomato still a cherry tomato? LOL this is one of the funniest gardening videos ever LOL A story i wanted to hear every bit of! Talking about unique and original! RIP Tommy ! He taught us so much!
GO for it!!!
I like your gaeden
😂😂😂😂
That was almost sad but still beautiful. I kept waiting for Tommy to rise up from the grave. You have so much love. I killed a hydroponic plant one time with root growth hormone. Lessons learned. My plant was not a fruiting plant. She is gone now. Tommy still has a chance tho….
Whoa… Thanks for showing even the little things we think is better can be catastrophic. Just like when we over eat, it makes us sick: diabetes, weight gain, heart disease, inflammation. The list goes on. It was like you did a plant fasting!
Cute analogous story Mike!!!
RIp
If doubling MasterBlend during bloom, did you reduce any of the other two parts, so that total ppm's wouldnt go up too much? From what I read, nitrate isn't as necessary during blooming. Maybe by reducing the calcium nitrate and epsom salt, it could have given you a different outcome.
So what happen? Did you add too much MasterBlend, or did all the plants suck the gutter dry? Have you had any success growing THAT many tomato plants in a gutter setup? I'm sure you have to keep adding water every few days.
You have too much time on your hands
Please get us to a successful hydroponic tomato harvest. Any luck with getting peppers? There must be some trick to making it worthwhile. My friend had some pepper plants in soil and all the growth went into the size of the bush and nothing into producing any fruit. I think he called it Uncle Sam. Maybe it's in pruning or timing? Otherwise I'm thinking us newbies should stick to the lettuce that doesn't let you down.
Just so I understand the lesson, it was too much fertilizer? Ok, I found it at 5:25.
You are a MESS!!!! rip Tommy.😭
cried & laughed. best part was about the ripples! amazing & thank you!
I thought I was in love with your videos, but now I'm convinced! I love this one so much that I think it should be shown in the AG classes so many schools offer. I've known since I was very young what the outcome would be, but not everyone grows up on a farm, Thank you!
Didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but I got the message.
You are amazing! Thank you for all you do!!! 💖
Great video. Great message.
RIP Tommy
Lovely message Mike
😍🤗 Wonderful!!
Lol oh my
Glad this video was not longer. I almost ran out of tissues. R.I.P Tommy!!!
Ahaha haha too cute. Thanks Mike. Had a great laugh. Great story. Yayyy for Tommy. I’m sure my day is going to be fun. 💛🤪😊
Wow, well done and well said my friend.

Awesome video and great tips! I'd love to include some of your garden ideas for the upcoming episode on my OFF-GRID mini series here: https://tinyurl.com/y9rhrdu8
God bless tommy ❤️
Amazing video ❤️❤️❤️
Having trouble with transferring microgreens to grow them larger. The roots stick to the paper towels and break off no matter how careful I am. Suggestions?
Loved it♥️
WOW! Your film making talent is amazing! What an incredible video! I was seriously getting emotional! And then I comforted myself by saying "We still have the pool noodles (loved that episode where you showed how to make those downspouts with the pool noodles!). lol. This was tremendous. It's really amazing to think that something as simple as a tomato can have a profound effect and teach you so much. It makes you realize to stop and appreciate the beauty and simple joys of life. I know your garden is your baby!
That was so heart touching 😭 you’ve earned your spot in a Hollywood movie mike!
Love ya too Mike !!
That was a very good video…
Exactly my outlook. Thank you 😊
Hahaha I serious thought you were peeing in the bucket hahaha
Wow. That was amazing Mike. We homeschool and tomo this video will be part of their school day.
