The tomatoes seemed fine with it. (I dry farm.) I bet that soil could benefit from organic stuff since almost any soil does. Corrugated cardboard (remove all tape first) holds in moisture & keeps out weeds. Corrugated cardboard lasts most of the winter here & is beginning to fall apart by the time I plant the tomatoes.
Making Tomato Cages from Concrete Mesh. Home Depot sells 5x150' rolls of 6" concrete mesh for $120. Using 13 squares (6.5') per cage, one roll of mesh will make 23 cages. The full roll is heavy – 150lbs – so use a dolly or a friend to help you move it. The ends are bent inward to keep the roll closed.
Noted the price of concrete wire at $55.00 a roll in Florida; last year here in Louisville it rose to $105.00 for a 150 foot roll and I passed on it, but this year I found it for $80.00 a roll at Home Depot and I need to buy two more rolls for cages. Supply and demand! "SPIDER"

All such great ideas! Ami - I searched on the internet for those cow pots and Home Depot has them listed so I might have to check that out. Love the plastic and styrofoam cups ideas too and the wicking. They're all great ideas! I have my first round of toms in peat pots at the moment. Have a 2nd round I will need to pot up this weekend.

I have observed what I believe to be significant improvement when potting up from flats to 4 inch containers by the use of Schultz Take Root rooting hormone. I went to the Home Depot looking for Rootone, but did not find it and substituted ...
Tomatovillian™. Join Date: Dec 2006. Location: Corpus Christi,Texas Z9. Posts: 1,996. I had some success with GA in the fall of 2008. I did have some splitting issues but the rains just came at the wrong time. I have it growing now and unfortunately it is in a bed that I have had some wilt problems in the past and this year is no different.
Location: Edina, MN (Zone 4) Posts: 945. It says one part Tomato Tone to 30 parts mix. You'd have to use 6 gallons of tomato tone for 180 gallons of potting soil. Better get your credit card warmed up. I'd look for a cheaper alternative. Perhaps, you could add an all purpose slow release fert to the potting mix, then top dress with Tomato Tone ...
Posts: 2,984. Gerald, my take on it is that Early Girl Hybrid has gone through a series of improvements from the original hybrid offered about 1975.
