Shawnee, Better yet, if the tomatoes have foot long stems, when planting
take off all the lower leaves and bury the whole stem along the ground. Roots
will grow along the whole length and make more nutrition available to the
plant. Pulling up the plants at the end of the season will show you what I
mean, the whole length will be covered with roots. Maury Sustainably producing greens in the Northeast. From:

Flowerfarmer An excellent source for growing
methods-free-for nearly every vegetable and many flowers is the Stokes
Catalogue. I have been getting a hardcopy of the catalogue for nearly 30
years and their information, while sometimes more technical than I need, is
always good science. Stokes taught me to germinate tomatoes, peppers,
eggplants warm and then immediately grow on cool which, with adequate
light, results in fat seedlings. I have found that purple coloring of the
stems is more a fertility issue because unless the light, temp and pH is in
balance, the seedlings can't access the available fertility. Sometimes
the stunted purple color also indicates too much compost in the potting mix. Share
