i have just completed an experiment with some tomato plants

. i manipulated the flow of a stream from a line to a figure of 8 with an out-let returning to the main stream. across the troughs that i dug i wedged thin sticks, cut the bottoms of the plant pots out and then placed the pots into the wedges (one each a ft apart) so that the bottom of the pots kissed the top of the water. then i moulded natural clay (i dug else where) around the stick, bridge supports and smoothed them off with my hands. from being half a ft tall if that in 12 days they had jumped up to my belt line!!!! i havent had to do anything all season but harvest. and let me tell you that these tomato's are real sweet.

. should tshtf, this method i have found to be so benificial to survival i.e saves you 90% of the work that i feel it right not to tell all about my technique. good luck

Did you manage to take any pictures of your set up ? There's a small stream at my BOL and I'd be interested in setting something like this up on a bigger scale post SHTF.
