It all begins with the seeds and so I started with that. Having the right seeds is basic. Biscuit added some thoughts on pruning, soil tilth and watering. These are all parts of the puzzle. The soil is so important. And the nutrients. Giant tomato growers with the most success are either fertigating, adding water soluble nutrients to the water they give the plants each day or growing organically. The organic people are feeding the soil and the chemists are feeding the plants. I believe each of these two groups feel their way is the best. To resolve this issue we need to look at the results. Which group is producing the biggest tomatoes? Of course there is more to it than the soil and nutrients but taking care of the soil and the method of providing the nutrients is a huge part of the puzzle.
