Absolutely correct. I'm growing 14 varietals of tomatoes in the hope of being able to whittle down to a few specific.....but I have a feeling each and every one will be delightful :)
My caveat above stands (that I am willing to accept anything is possible until we know what is a fact), BUT......
....I just have this sneaking suspicion that there is more at play than nutes / minerals in terms of plant behaviour and flavour/compound formation.
As an example - mykorrizia...
I hear you completely. I will have soon the evidence regarding so-called "organic" produce from unnamed farms in Spain etc that have been shipped across Europe and exposed to heavy metals and VOCs amongst other toxic chemicals along the way.
As regards the reasons for "taste difference" I am...
I hear you and you're absolutely right, this would be perfectly valid and I have a design under way to deliver just this in an "intelligent" way. However, my work here (he says in his best Superman voice) is to prove that there is no discernible nutritional difference (to the negative) between...

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Side by Side comparison has been made and we also have the "produce by weight" results so far. The garden is getting annihilated by the indoor garden. The indoor zucchini put on a spurt that saw 4 very good sized zucchini produced (one last one is yet to reach "harvest"...
Considering buying a dildo to pollinate my plants with......seems more appropriate than an electric toothbrush! Might start a little poll on this :)
What are your thoughts? And what sort of dildo?
Well it's been an interesting week of getting the new evictees into the garden and planning the next build. Photos below show them (chillies, paprika, eggplant and another few tomato plants). Got some Hokkaido Pumpkin (25!!!) seedlings ready for there next stage and a whole bunch of beetroot...
Strawberries will be up next ....well....after the spinach I am about to grow!
The taste of the zucchini was unlike any other zucchini I have tasted, though I have never tasted home grown in the garden zucchini. They should be ready in 3 or 4 days and I'll report back.
The cost - it'll...
