While the unruly spring delayed most planting, froze some crops and caused farmers general consternation, John Marshall has been tending his 800 tomato plants without the hassle of fooling around with Mother Nature. Hes done it in the environmentally controlled comfort of a plastic-coveregreenhouse. The robust green forest of plants which grow to eight feet high, supported by strings tied to overhead wires, are rooted in nothing more than six inches of syna mixture of peat moss and thetic soil vermiculite. The system is called trough culture. And why not? The synthetic soil from which the plants grow is in troughs that run the length of the greenhouse. d Its Is Different from the hydrophonics which only water, no soil different method in is used. The hybrid plants are a variety which responds favorably to heavy quantites of fertilizer. Theyll grow as much as six inches on a sunny day.

Produce for Three Months Marshall figures his indoor farm will produce for about three months with each plant yielding 20 pounds. After that, theyll cut down the vines and start over again. Its the only greenhouse operation of its kind west of the Mississippi although there are thousands of them in the South. What kind of tomatoes does the system produce? Theyre red, firm, clean. And they have a distinctive tomato flavor, a virtue not always claimed by tomatoes shipped in from other areas of the country. Marshalls had no problem marketing his crop. Smiths Food King in Brigham City purchases all that he can deliver. And there are also a few folks who stop by the greenhouse to buy. Some Advantages Some advantages to farming indoors are obvious.
