I'd probably bury 2 1/2 feet in a shallow trench. Layout gets sorta iffy
though when plants are that tall. I've had my most profitable tomato sales
with plants bought in the distressed corner of nurseries in late June for
next to nothing, set out around July 1st. When they start coming on in
mid-September, many times everybody else's have turned up their toes, and
the market jumps on ours like bees on a bowl of honey all the way through
October. And then other times we get an early freeze and it's all for
naught. Gardening is such fun!

central Ohio, where we're gonna try to sell about 7 bushels of lettuce
tomorrow at the market, grown from plugs and growing amazingly fast in this
rainy weather.
