How to Trench Plant Tomatoes.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09643317297830165273noreply@blogger.comBlogger8125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631374415610618691.post-78415210776189354182012-05-30T08:49:03.560-04:002012-05-30T08:49:03.560-04:00Oh, that pile of tomato plants in the compost is s...Oh, that pile of tomato plants in the compost is sad, but at least they will go to good use!<br /><br />Years ago I saw an episode of a PBS gardening show (maybe Victory Garden?) which explained the trench system, and since then, I've always planted my tomatoes on their sides. It doesn't take long at all for them to straighten. In fact, the ones I planted just yesterday are already upright again.<br /><br />Only a couple times have I goofed and broken the stem of one already planted while I was digging the trench for the next one. I've slowly learned to dig all the trenches I need first!<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder about what heavy feeders they are, and the need for consistent watering. Also important for peppers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631374415610618691.post-69649225541855395442012-05-22T09:06:17.567-04:002012-05-22T09:06:17.567-04:00I'm going to try this.
