super helpful. way to go. thanks
We use tomahooks (tomato hooks with about 25 feet of the baler twine wrapped on them-sold by Johnny's or Nolt's))..we used to tie directly to the wire like Roger was showing…great video guys!! Wish I was there!!
I went to Lowe's and bought a shovel, cutting it down with a grinder to match that tree shovel. bam!
make another Roger tomato video at the other house where they are taller. Very interested in hearing him explain the latter stages of pruning and what is different there.
mention tomato and you get a whole bunch of views
Tomaotes.
curtis i didn't plant my tomatoes deep enough but i still have fruit can i dig them up and bury them deep
pruning tomatoes. so I guess what wasn't fully addressed was the leaf mass required to keep a plant producing fully, do the tomatoes produce more leaves than they need? I know there are drawback from cutting too many leaves, it can't photosynthesize, so taking off leaves is like unplugging your solar panels. why would you downsize? what do you gain? and also, how do you decide what's enough, and not enough?
Tomahooks my friends.
That was very good. I enjoyed that.
I live in TN and I directly planted some suckers. However, only about 25% survived. We get a lot of rain here, so I recommend putting them in water first and then planting later.
Great video, Roger is well spoken and very clear. Have him on again any time!
any chance to do another video with close ups of what Roger is cutting, tieing and pinching?
Hello from France ! Thank you for this nice videos with qualitative content. What kind of string is it ? do you re-use them ? If yes, have you got any pathogene issues ? Do you Lean and Lower them in later stages of cultivation? What do you think about rollerhooks?
This by far is my favorite method.. simple, easy to access, fast and effective! Thanks for the uploads, really appreciate your effort!
Oh, and another way to get a 'starter string' in instead of using a stake, is to 'plant one at the same time as you plant the tomaotes (haha).. Take care brother 🙂
Hi Curtis,
should I wait until the flowers become fruit before pruning off the lower branches? or can I prune as soon as the flower cluster appears? Thanks!
Great content in this video!
Why tie to the wood steak instead of the tomato plant? Just wondering since I just started market gardening and I have attached to the base of the plant.
Do your tomatoes ever suffer from sun scald? I occasionally get some sun scale on the south row of my high tunnel if I prune really aggressively. Also does the wind blow there? Here in Wyoming my high tunnel is way more beefy than yours. 65 mph wind yesterday :(. Love your channel. Really great info!!
Hi Curtis, why do you tie your string to a bamboo stick and not to the stem of the plant?
I don't know why but Roger reminds me of Trump in a lot of ways. Not to say that i think he's bad person just the gestures and his speech very similar
I use a mooring hitch knot on top of my strings. You can then go up over the wire and tie it off lower so you don't need the foot stool every time you take it loose to wrap. it. I will do a video on it today to show you how it works. It's a huge time saver, others may find it handy too.
Would love to see a Q&A with Roger!
hey there, one thing that wasn't clear in this video for me is this; do you remove all the suckers or do you leave some on the plant? I'm trying out the way you grow the tomatoes myself this year, still have lots to learn 🙂 any help is appreciated.
Where do you order the bamboo stakes? Do you just purchase large ones and then make cuts to make the size you want? Or do you order them that size?
Once a stem has produced all the way to the top and starts to grow new branches off of it towards the bottom, should I cut the stem that is no longer producing?
Thanks for info
Well I fucked up with my tomatoes anyway. Time to get snippin lol
What is your average pound yield per plant +urbanfarmercurtisstone ?
Suckers = Gourmands in France ^_^ lol mdr
