[Growwine] grow tubes

[Margaret Marshall]

Hi Norene!  These tubes are corregated plastic.  They are about 30" tall and 3" around.  We bought them from the co-op in vineland and paid $1 apiece.  They are now $1.10.  We have 500 and would sell them for .50  Where are you located?  Ciao, Margaret

  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.

  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
