Roni,
Sometimes when they are planted deep, especially in saturated conditions, the roots don't get oxygen and the rootball can die. The plant growth stops until new roots develop along the stem. Planting them sideways in trenches is also easier and faster. I lay really leggy plants down in a double-row herringbone pattern with drip tape down the middle and the tops to the outside.

We have a native heavy clay soil. It has been amended with compost/manure
and green manure/cover crops for a couple of years, so it's a little better
now. Never had a trouble with deep planting yet. What happened to when
they are planted in heavy clay soil? Is it a water drainage problem or
something else?
Also, I'm growing on a smaller scale, only about 80 tomato plants last year.
So they can be babied more than a larger operation.
