"DIY TomTato - Grafting Tomatoes onto Potatoes 2014"

Great stuff. I was at a marine auction and a large pile of aluminum framed windows was one item, about 1/3 broken and they likely went really cheap, $30-$100 or so. I did not buy them for some reason - I once got really burnt at an auction and that may have been my reticence (I was there to buy marine timbers but the lots were to large for me, all included pilings and I would have had to hire a truck to transport it) I would have built a greenhouse with those windows. I should have gotten them - all the smashed ones to dispose of was off putting too - I regret it. I also should have gotten the smallest lot of marine timbers too - just a heap of treated lumber, beams, and pilings all tangled - it went for $700. Then just chain sawed the stuff down to transportable size.)

One day I will run into a mass of windows to salvage and will do so - then can join you in this kind of thing.

 

I personally am having a go just to see if I can,it is a bit of a gimmick but for anyone that has limited space for growing and would like to have both crops it's certainly worth a go

 

Brilliant John,looking great It'll be interesting see how the potatoes do too...

Mine are outside in a sheltered spot now,lost a couple to a clumsy brother but still have another two left

 

Never been adventurous enough to try this - it is now down for a try on next years crop list. I am learning loads from this post thanks JWK and Lolli

 

Fascinating thread , just tagging it to keep an eye on the results.
When I started reading it I hadn't a clue what you and John were talking about, just thought you both couldn't spell tomato !

 

Was it something like 'Anyone going to try these?' it'll come back to me

 

This perhaps?
