    You have done a very good job with this garden I have looked at a number of your videos, and I think you have the right idea. I am a relatively new gardener I know very little I simply do what my gut tells me. Some people look at my videos and simply laugh. But as I stated earlier I am a new gardener and I'm just learning. Keep up the great work and I will keep checking out your videos.

    I found your video very informative. I am in the process of staking
    my plants just as you have shown. Cages were a disaster in the past. I also liked your explanation of late blight and the various methods to combat it like leaf picking, choosing disease resistant plants or using a copper fungicide if it was needed. Anyway your presentation was very well done and informative, thanks.

    Thank you very much for the vid! I have been gardening for years (I use the same landscaping fabric) and my tomato plants have been so big & unruly in the round cages- too thick to even see some of the fruit! This year we are trying vertical gardening with cucumbers & zucchini and your video helped me TREMENDOUSLY with what to do with our plants! (I never knew about 'suckers' on plants. We are saving some space so we are going to try adding some new veggies to grow. Cheers!

      Frank, I found the same thing useful in this video. As it's spring here in Melbourne Australia and I've just planted four tomatoes in a square raised bed I'm just going to put a stake at each corner and use the tie method.

  • @glennchaffin9941
    @glennchaffin9941 3 года назад +3

    I used T post and an elastic string that I purchased so it would give with the wind and I tied it extremely tight. My plants are very strong and tall. I also pruned everything from the ground up to a foot then then did some extra purning including some larger stems and my tomatoes are loaded. The heavy pruning has helped tremendously in my opinion.

    Thank you for the informative video. I've tried string trellises but found through my own devices that I prefer the vertical method. I also use fencing wire for the top and bottom lines. Holds the stakes together well and doesn't flex as I'm tying in the vertical twine. Keep up the good work and ignore the trolls.

    Thanks for your time to demonstrate in detail the purpose and reasoning. Good infornation. Thanks for sharing with us less skilled gardeners. :) bookmarked this video so I can review again and share with those that have same problems as I do.. Thanks. To me this plan practically eliminates wire cages other than special plants. Always have said two heads better than one and sometime a third head just seals the target for us inexperienced growers. I like it.
    I have some 16' length cattle panels just catching dust. Would like to put them to work in the tomato garden as I feel they have a lot to offer, but no experience at this :/ Wished we'd found you last year.

      Will that work if the bigger suckers be planted as cuttings?

    • @gewgulkansuhckitt9086
      @gewgulkansuhckitt9086 4 года назад +2

      @@zarsvirus I either break off the sucker, slice it off, or use clippers. (Slicing with a sharp knife/razor is probably the best method)
      Then ideally I plant it somewhat horizontally so that the cut end is maybe three inches (7.62 cm) deep with just a little bit of top with leaves sticking out of the ground. If the sucker is long enough this can result in a few inches of horizontal stem about 3 inches deep with the leafy end curving up towards and breaking through the surface.
      As tomato plants can grow roots anywhere a stem touches the ground, this maximizes root growth. If doing this would result in some leaves being buried, I pluck those leaves off.
      Water the transplant well to make sure that the dirt settles around the cut end and make sure it gets good watering over the next few weeks.

    I just planted three tomato plants in three different containers, after watching your video I'm considering lining the three planters up a line then installing a short post on each end of the containers then running the strands of line.
    I've tried many brands of seed in my area, but for the past 5 years or so the best I've found is the Jellybean Cherry Tomato. It's a Hybrid, it's very tasty, good Hum! Hum! and it's disease resistant.
    thanks again.

  • @phallystorm
    @phallystorm 8 лет назад

    I enjoyed this video a lot. I am a Tomato grower, but not to the capacity , or size of the farm that you have/ I grow them in 5 gallon buckets with a 3 type soil ratio. Miracle Grow Garden soil, top soil, and cow manure. The blight kills me around late July. I never knew about treating them until I saw this video. I think I need to separate them more, and give them some air to breathe. Also being that they're in buckets, and I am away for 3-5 hours, the morning saturation watering seems to be all depleted(on Hot days) when I return in the afternoon.I know this stresses the plants, and can also cause disease, and introduce sickness to them. Love your style of staking, and supporting them/ I wish I had a large farm like yours. Thanks

    I've had a terrible time keeping my plants and stems off the ground.
    I pruned them to grow upward this year, and I've still been plagued with Septoria Leaf Spot, even to the point where I've reluctantly had to use a fungicide on them.
    I'll consider this methodology for next year.

    love that staking.
    I built about twelve eight foot long by four foot high stick terraces last year.

    easier to maneuver new growth around

    • @krrrruptidsoless
      @krrrruptidsoless 7 лет назад

      But now that I think about it.
      I live in a windy area and I'd walk outside one day and would find all my plants cut off from the plants blowing around and rubbing against the string and thus sawing them off.
      Good idea for a calm place though.

    This is my first year trying to grow anything. I have over 30 determinate plants ready for my raised bed. I have been researching the best method to stake them and I think this method is called the Florida Weave and it seems to be the easiest and cheapest way to stake my maters. I have built 3 raised beds 3 x 8'. I will put 7-8 tomatoes in the western 8' sides of each bed. I will tie all 7 or 8 together as you did. I'll also plant pole and bush beans in the beds. May fill a baby pool with drainage holes with potting soil and plant bush watermelon and birdhouse squash. Excellent, informative video. thank you. will subscribe.....

    Great video, thanks! For one sizable garden I used to have, instead of running twine back and forth I used a run of field fencing clipped to T-posts about 5-6 feet apart. From there, you can train the plants into every two or three openings up the fence or use garbage bag ties, Miracle Gro garden string (the kind with the built-in cutter), etc. The ties/string can be reused for several years if you're a tightwad like me. Probably wouldn't scale well for a hundred acres worth but for a large garden used year after year, it sure saved a lot of time over the years.
