Thanks again for your comments, most helpful... we couldn't really tell how heavy the pots were as we put a few crocks in bottom of each to improve drainage. Anyhow, to we decided to repot in a premium compost mix with seaweed extract. Now watching this space. Will report back in a while.1

I wouldn't bother with crocks. My toms are in pots sitting on a gravel bed, I fill the gravel with water, the toms send their roots into the gravel looking for it. As long as there are holes in the bottom, and the pots aren't sitting in water, they'll be fine. Although even that doesn't make sense given that the roots grow in the gravel and the gravel always has some water in it...Thsi could be the start of more experiments
Shampoo? No thanks, I'll have real poo...1 -
I think tomatoes are one of those plants which can be grown well hydroponically - you just need to make sure there's enough movement of the water so the oxygen levels remain decent around the roots (the plants don't rot/drown)I'm not an early bird or a night owl; I’m some form of permanently exhausted pigeon.0
