dito Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 is it safe to place tomato cages directly on floor (if raining)? i see how this could be a problem since the cage is metal standing in a pool of water. i've heard you have to raise them off the ground. i want to be laxy and not have to do this, but...if i have to... can anyone chime in please?

TJ Hvasta Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Hey, lets start that whole GFI battle again! Come on, who's with me?? As long as the actual plugs arent in the water, you should be fine.. Just have the controllers GFI protected if you're in a high-moisture area (lotta rain) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think fixing your roof should be the first priority here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magish01 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I dipped the legs of my trees in that liquid rubber used for coating tool handles. Probably did not need it but couldn't hurt. Plus I pay the neighbor kid 10 cents an hour to hold the plugs off the ground. He looks good wrapped in lights too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
