I have been using and suggesting the use of a tomato vibrator from
www.hydro-gardens.com.
See picture below:
http://www.hydro-gardens.com/growsup1.htm#pollinator
It is a very good vibrator and cost only $14.95.
I. Red, Alan and other subscribers have more than a "few" tomato plants. We
would like to know if anyone has any info on a more commercial tomato
pollinator.
Also, I would like info on a scale that weighs in oz's. Anyone out there got
got any info on this. Everyone I look at cost $400+.
Would appreciate any input.
Thanks
Steve

Pablo red pacu fingerlings are being offered for $70per hundred out of
Florida on special right now from (5Ds in Plant City Florida
1-800-7775D5D). Thats 70 cents each now keep in mind at the pet store
they are marked up considerably so it might be to your advantage to set
up a fake pet store front so you can get the wholesale price lists sent
to you automatically. Where are you located ? I bet you could get them
out of Florida UPS or FEDEX or you could just pick them up at the
airport
Think of Pacu as you would goats they will eat just about any yard
waste like lawn clippings

Steve,
Try this web address they are a jewelry equipt supplier, I know that
they sell a small digital scale
that weights in troy ozs, grams and pennyweights and regular ozs Ohaus
scale model SC 40??
something or another if you are weighing small portions this will be great
very durable for small scale
careful troy oz is heavier than avdvoporis oz

Trends may change that shortly (within 5-20 years), but, yeah
.True. Thank

Thank you, Arlos. You are saying it aint perfect, but it aint all that bad
compared with what it could be like
and you have reality to back you up
to compare what it could be like
a comparison that many of us pampered
citizens of high tech industrial societies are mostly unaware of, or
unappriciative of, on a day to day basis
Thank you.

Just for info, I have ordered the bumble bees. I will let everyone know how
it goes. There was no way I could pollinate 200 plants by hand. I am open
to any other options. the bees are expensive. But to the amount of blooms I
am loosing worth it. I have started with 30 plants way ahead of the other
200 or so glad I did that, now I can work through all my problems. Lesson
learned.
