Default 30 April 2016 Overhead Tomato Supports

http://durgan.org/2016/May%202016/7%...to%20Bed/HTML/ 7 May 2016 Mulching Tomato Bed
A layer of wood chip mulch about three cubic yards was laid on the tomato bed. The tomatoes will be planted about the end of May. Mulch is used in my case to maintain moisture by inhibiting water evaporation from the Sun.


http://durgan.org/2016/April%202016/...Supports/HTML/ 30 April 2016 Overhead Tomato Supports
A area,24 feet by 8 feet, was prepared for 21 tomato plants. An overhead support structure using rebar and fence posts about 6 feet high was built. Tomato plant will be supported by strings tied to the overhead structure. The plants will have no obstacles inhibiting growth of the fruit, and strings are added during the growing season as required. The structure is tied at appropriate places using plastic ties.
