I have yes you can but do not have to pollinate by hand you can actually open a window and let sum bees in as long as bees are around they ll do there job. But for winter time i would go ahead and order sum frozen bees to pollinate. "Amazon they have everything."

I've grown the micro-mini toms featured on their site with some success. What many folks don't realize is that vegie plants such as tomatoes and peppers grown indoors need to be pollinated by hand. I've found that the best way to do this is by using a battery operated toothbrush to stimulate the entire plant rather frequently. Wherever there are blossoms, run the toothbrush up those particular branches. That should help stimulate growth.

Sorry, I can't help. When i received mine I found it was too small to work with the tomatoes and onions I use, so I gave it to someone.

no, but it does tomatoes and plums well so i don't see why it wouldn't work.

No. I have not. It works pretty well on mango fruits. You have to position it just right and it works best on fruit that is not over ripe. I would be curious to find out if anyone has tried it on other fruits.

I dont know for sure as I have not tried it. I highly doubt it being that it couldn't even cut up onion or tomatoes

Hello Works great! We Mixed in a Sprinkling can and dripped along root zone and over leafs. We have lots of JUICY tomatoes only problem is the chipmunks and squirrels are sampling as soon as they get ripe! :0) Miracle grow is a great product! Good Luck!

Sorry, I've never tried. Only used on tomatoes, apples, squash, and to make salsa.

NO. I had to return mine. The puree' devise constantly jammed and I had to take the entire machine apart, clean it and re-assemble it every 10 minutes or so. Granted I was processing over 100 lbs. of tomatoes, but still, this should not happen. Perhaps if you plan to process a couple of pounds it might hold up. I must say the return was very easy. Hope this helps.

I put 2 tomato plants in my containers, and they were ENORMOUS. I ended up constructing a support system of bamboo to let them grow outward. I'm certain a third tomato plant would have been impossible.However, I grew other plants in the same box. One box was 2 tomatoes and a haricot vert bush bean. Another box was 2 tomatoes, a haricot vert, and multiple replants of frisée. That said, everything started to look exhausted about two months in. I think that many plants ate all the fertilizer too fast. I started adding a bit of liquid fertilizer every now and then when watering, and that seemed to perk them up again.

Yes, why not? What other method might you use? I have used for tomato plants and watermelon seeds so far.

Yes.... I would say not to waste your money on these. They do not hold up tomato plants very well plus they cracked so it wasn't holding the water in the tray. But your experience may be a different one.

No I haven't. I've only used it for sauces and absolutely love it. It is so powerful though I would think it would work just fine.

No. I couldn't imagine why it wouldn't work it works perfect for tomatoes. I think it would be fine if you're looking for a persimmons puree

I used it to transplant tomato plants. It worked well for the tomato plants and did not affect the tomatoes in any way. We did not have any problems with the tomatoes that came from the plants we used the Garden Safe Take Root Rooting powder.

Yes, George! I have used it the last couple years on my tomatoes and cucumbers and it really works. Start using it early, even before any signs of disease and continue to spray it on every week. Rotate your crop so you aren't planting were you had blight last year, it remains in the soil from year to year. I also plant in black plastic to help separate the plant from the soil. Be sure to spray the lower leaves the most. Good luck!

We have sliced several kinds of vegetables and cheese, and it has several "blades" for different things. We've never tried tomatoes, though, but it works well on what we've tried so far so don't see why it wouldn't slice tomatoes if you found the right blade for what you need. That took some trial and error attempts.

Sorry, I have never grown tomatoes or any other type of plant so I wouldn't know if this type of lighting would work for that purpose.
