 Support As the scope only contains three images, there's not much choice. I would like to see this succeeded by an image that includes a pot on its side, showing the roots coming out the bottom. Downtowngal (talk) 22:22, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You'll have to wait a little longer :) I started them off the standard way then when watering them daily became a pain in the ass, I transfered them to ring culture. The roots haven't penetrated much into the gravel yet. Hopefully the plants will bear lots of fruit when I take such a photograph of penetration! Jolly Janner (talk) 22:28, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have an idea for a photo that might be better... I lift one of the pots about 10cm off the gravel and take a portrait photo of that, which will show the watery gravel, the roots coming from the bottom of the pot, and the tomato plant. Does this sound like a good photo to show it? Jolly Janner (talk) 13:43, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, better. Make sure the photo is at an angle so that we can see that the pot has no bottom. Have someone else hold the pot and try to cast the light so we can see the difference between the soil and the pot at the bottom.Downtowngal (talk) 18:34, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If I put the camera below the pot and tilt it upwards you won't be able to see the gravel. I think it would be better if I have the camera tilted downwards so you can see the gravel, but tilt the pot, so you can see its roots. Jolly Janner (talk) 20:14, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
