  • Tomato Planting

    I'm going to get some tomato plants tomorrow and know I need to put up supports for them.

    Do I plant in a cluster or each plant separately and do I put wire round the cane's or do toms climb naturally.

    Sorry for all the questions

    I always tie mine to the canes, as even if they are the kind that don't need it, the fruit weighs heavy and they can break or topple over. Plant them 3 to a large grow bag or in individual large pots or flower buckets.
    Someone will tell you the correct answer soon as I am just a worry pot and like to tie mine up whatever the variety

      That's what I do too! Tie them to canes that is rather than be a worry pot.

        1 plant = 1 cane. Unless you want chaos come the late summer.

          Solitare, no clusters. Each plant seperately and when big enough put a cane along side it and tie plant to cane.

          And when your back stops aching,
          And your hands begin to harden.
          You will find yourself a partner,
          In the glory of the garden.

            No clusters! Tomato plants are HOOGE.

              I prefer twine to wire as I find that wire can sometimes bite into the plant causing an open wound
