Overwintering Tomatoes Indoors: High Light or AeroGarden

The Light Requirement

Tomatoes need ~400 watts of fluorescent light, 16 hours/day, at 70°F+ to fruit indoors. A sunny window isn't enough.

AeroGarden (aerogrow.com) hydroponic systems provide adequate light and nutrients for indoor tomato success.

Digging up garden plants for indoor culture rarely works. Start fresh with a compact variety in a proper indoor system.
