Single vines vs Caged unpruned
I was hoping to see more market post about do's and don'ts and best ways to grow for profit.
Maybe I didn't look far enough back into the past. I have grown tomato plants many different ways and I don't see much difference as far as production goes if you base it upon a certain amount of space to grow them in. Been growing tomato produce for 7 years. Growing a long bed of tomatoes and pruning them all to a single vine is very time consuming and does not bother me until it starts getting hot outside then I give up and walk away. Growing tomatoes in cages is less time consuming cause you don't have to do all that pruning----just a little to keep them in their caged limits but the plants seem to get fungus a lot quicker this way. I thought about caging and pruning more than usual. I need to make a decision ---to cage or grow single vines. It's almost time to sow seeds. I have the source to grow tomatoes just about anyway I want to==just cant make up my mind which way to do it this year. I never ever get to hear about other growers success. I been stuck here in my own little world doing my own thing. and would love to see your photos too. I am sick of looking at mine. What are ya'll doing? How is it working out for you?
