[Grovenet] news you might use

I haven't seen that ad but I've heard of growing tomatoes on a  
rotating drum structure where the plant keeps growing and the young  
shoots have the fruit on them and the old vine parts get rotated  
around the drum over time.  It sounds similar but lets the plant grow  
UP.  It is fascinating what we can do with plants and they still grow.

Nothing like a good tomato off the vine!
