Tomatoes, welcome to your new home! Known as EarthTrainer, its the latest and greatest in urban gardening lo-fi technology and its suppose to grow great tomatoes. The simple premise is a bottom up approach to watering your crops. Rather than watering from above the soil the EarthTrainer feeds the plants from below the surface thus training the roots to grow nice and deep. It also conserves a lot of water. Conventional ways of watering allow moisture to evaporate right back into the air.

Tomatoes prefer consistent and evenly moist soil. Soil that is too dry will stunt the plants growth. Too much water will cause the fruit with crack. Earth Trainer will keep the soil perfectly moist by wicking up only what the plants needs. The results - healthy and delicious tomatoes.
