User ID: 80740767 United States 04/15/2022 08:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I make my tomato cages out of concrete remesh. It looks like a fence and comes in 50 foot rolls. I forget how long the individual pieces were but they make a cylinder about 2 feet in diameter. I cut the bottom wire off so I have a bunch of wires to stick in the ground to hold it upright. The one foot holes are plenty of space to grab a tomato. I just transplanted my tomatoes into 4 packs yesterday. Last Edited by Doctor Congo on 04/15/2022 08:20 AM |

I have a bumper crop since 2016 when I started this method. When you get great results, it's inspiring and keeps you really motivated out there so have some fun making nutritious FREE food! |

You can actually see - at least in the veg state...the final product is more of less the same strength but the yeild is greater because over the course of its life, it's had 1 more full moon. its neat |

User ID: 80804867 Nicaragua 04/15/2022 08:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thank you! Another tip for transplanting tomatoes: plant them at a 45 degree angle, covering the first leaf node. All of those fibers create root system. The plant will be healthier and sturdier. I worked at a large nursery for a few years. The farmers taught me this, which was also the secret to getting tomatoes far later in the season, as they had a good root system for water uptake to combat the Arizona desert conditions. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77059532 United States 04/15/2022 08:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | here is one of the best tips you will get.. make your own soil mix!! especially for potted plants! If you cant grow plants its one of two things... either your soil mix isnt right or your plants arent getting enough sun ------ Ive been growing plants for 20+ years and once I figured out how to mix soil and realized that plants need a lot of light my growing completely changed. Your soil mix should drain easily and dry out almost between waterings. If youre just buying a bag 'potting soil' and throwing some seeds in it YOU WILL FAIL!! Your mix should contain: use these in differing concentrations with goal of getting a fast draining mix. Too much peat moss and your mix will get mucky and stay too wet.
