YHEP Instructor Ian Ford-Terry shows you how you can grow tomatoes year-round in a DIY 5-gallon bucket hydroponic system!
Activity: Either attempt the activity shown in the video, or, if supplies are limited, find a tomato plant and try to propagate one of the vines by taking a cutting and setting it in a cup of water until you see roots growing from the stem!
