Hi Margaret -  Just reviewing  your posting about grow tubes. Have you still
got them.   What type and how tall?   How about price?  Norene

Harold,

To work correctly grow tubes should be slightly buried, by mounding on the
outside.  There should be no ventilation from the bottom.  Creating a
"chimney effect" is one of the leading causes of failure of grow tube use,
and defeats the purpose of creating a warm moist, high CO2 environment that
causes grow tubes to be effective.

How about elevating the tubes just above the ground with small stones or
small blocks of wood so as to promote the natural flow of air through the
tubes, maintaining good circulation - potentially keeping  moisture content
down.

Regards,

Harold Tracanelli

Hello Steve,

I used Grow Tubes for 2 years on small seedlings. They work great, but as
Margaret suggesed you require air flow. The new plants are really prone to
mildew, so you really have to spray them more often. - And be sure to remove
them around August.

Quoting Margaret Marshall :

Hi Steve!  We have 500 grow tubes we never used.  We would be willing to
part with them for half price.  They are in new condition.  We were going to
use them and Angelo Pavan suggested not to because they don't allow enough
air to the vines.  Ciao, Margaret
