  • Now, that's a unique method!

    In my case I use a tuning fork to vibrate the flowers.

  • @bigolebadassbob Nice one! I hear an electric toothbrush also works well :o)

  • my tomatoes dont reach more than 3 inches they dry well watered an on the window lots of light any sugestions?

  • @ingesumadre Better soil & food? Also is your glass UV protective - preventing the right spectrum of light reaching your tomatoes? Are the seeds taken from shop-brought fruit? if so they will likely not do well. Try some heirloom seeds.

    Good luck.

  • Some people call that plant secks. ;-)

    Nice video, Rick! Right on the mark!

  • @MZMStudios LOL! indeed, which reminds me, I forgot to mention; it's usually best to play some mood music - Perhaps some Barry White or something ;o)

  • Thank you! i made another "pollinator" that is a vibrating schick razor with a plastic cap duct taped to the tip with cotton in it. but your method seems like it should not fail. I take it pollinating tomatoes and cherry tomatoes could both use this method?

  • Why not place a live bumblebee hive in your greenhouse to allow bees to pollinate the flowers? If it's placed near a vent the bees can get outside as well. British bumblebees are sold in the Beepol hives.

  • Great video!

  • Very helpful! Good work mate!

  • can you pollennate by putting a fan on them

  • i duck tape my girlfriend's make up brush to my vibrating mach 3 power razer lol...seems to work like a charm

  • Wonderful vid!  Just starting to do some tomatoes my self and something i heard for other plants and would recommend for tomatoes especially if you are growing big ones. Put an electric fan on them so that they stems grow stronger and thicker... that way they support the tomatoes better. Cheers.
