Default Air Layering

I wanted to show how I propagate Tomatoes. I use this for my weird Tomato. I get an adult plant in a few weeks. Anyone else use this? If so what are your experiences?

I can't quite tell what is going on in your photos, but is it something like this? http://www.tomatoville.com/showthrea...hlight=rooting

I've never tried it personally because my season is too short for a second crop, but looks like a great idea.
Too bad dcarch is no longer around, he used to have great ideas for almost everything, including mouth watering presentations of restaurant worthy tomato dishes.

Yes, the white lines in the picture are roots.

Neat idea. I have thought about cloning, if I find a very expensive variety that I like. Some modern hybrids cost as much as $1 per seed.

To my knowledge, there are no tomatoes under patent, at least commercially available varieties, so cloning is perfectly legal.

I like cloning because I get to skip the seed stage. I also have a variety that cannot be propagated by seed.
