have a few questions. does any one have photos of a dc container grown producing fruit? If so could you please post it or pm it. does any one use an air pot for growing dc ? I live in mid MI. AND HAVE A GREEN HOUSE, any one in the area want to swap info? Also does any one bubble wrap their green house, if so can you tell me the best method? How often do you fertilize in the winter? I live in montrose area, thanks for any and all help, baker mike

I did a google search and found a few pics of that plant in fruit in a container.

I do not use airpots yet but a number of my friends use them....And they swear by the better growth and characteristics these pots have. I here these are hard to overwater.
I would use them but I have an abundance of landscape containers.
A large nursery which I visited in Florida uses them exclusively on a drip system.
There are also some good Youtube videos on the plastic/bubble wrap method for insulating your hothouse. You will be able to choose the best method for your situation/setup as well as heating methods.....I got some good ideas on DYI cfl growlights which seem to fit my needs and kept me out of trouble for a few days while I made them:08:
I also will maintain a couple of plants under cfls which I will fertilize lightly with Espoma Organic Garden or Miracle grow.
I winter I just try to maintain the health of my plants and not grow them out with a big buck solar system.
Do not expect traditional growth with the short days and cooler temps, things tend to slooooow down a bit.
There are other members on the forum that will chime in and hopefully fill in the gaps.
