Russell I've had my neighbours scratching their heads as to why I shake my 8 feet (and growing) tomato plants first thing in the morning before school run, 30 min jog and rushing to work. It's the 2n time I've grown tomato plants...this yr my neighbours gifted me 6 and they wanted to give me more but I didn't want to be greedy. Let me tell you Russell. I've mothered those plants as well as the rest in my veg patch. I 've had to tie 2 sticks together to support those plants heading to the sky and I need to help them on their journey. Wake up every day and the first thing I do is rush downstairs, coffee in hand and into the garden to check up on them and make sure they're safe. Kids & the neighbours think I've lost it and I'm proud to say I think I may have. Hehe :)

Dudes serious.. he even put on a suit and tie hahaha

my "gotta out do you" neighbor saw me start my plants...she came home with a plant with a tomato on it, stuck it shallow in the ground by an electric pole and said "i got a tomato already!" i was using 4x8 hog panels...vertical...2 on each side of a 4 ft bed with 6 plants and used a ladder for the last half of the season.....500 plus better boy tomatoes, still 100s on the vine when the frost hit. she got about nine that i could see were edible......and never a compliment either, didnt need one, but after 8-9 ft plants just sagging with tomatoes, my point was made! excellent advice!

Amazing video! Thank you :)

my uncle grew about 5 plants 2 years ago. They were so tall we couldn't measure it normally. The ladder wouldn't stay still. I grabbed a 12 foot crappie pole and stood it next to it, and it was about 6 inches away from the top of the pole on the tallest plant. About a foot away on the rest. He had so many tomatoes that year that he couldn't give them away. No bottom rot either, which was surprising. The stalks were about 4 inches thick at the base.

Your absolutely correct that just vibration the flowers they pollinate and I get 100% grow on my tomato plants thumbs up my friend I make my own tomato cages also gotta love my tomatoes

gonna give this a try as my tomatoe seedlings are way ahead of schedule. who needs a cedar hedge with plants like that.lol good job buddy. thanks.

You may want to link to your website or store in the description. Couldn't hurt to put that on your "About" section as well.

Thank you! Only video i could find with great and straight forward explanations

Very interesting. I will try this method this year and come back to this video. I may also experiment with cutting away suckers on one third of the plants. I can't believe some of the comments made by the trolls but that's KZread.

I have done the same thing with concrete reinforcement wire. It comes in rolls 6 feet wide and 50 feet long. Cut off 10 feet and roll it around the 5 foot section. In my area (Arizona) the pests and blight and such that everyone in the south worries about is a non issue. I have grown better boys to 10 feet tall, and have even had an 8 foot cherry tomato. The downside is that the stems have to go through a chipper in fall to clean out the bed. My biggest one had a 3.5" trunk (not a stem) and became somewhat woody.

is pruning involved?

Your tomato like a tree,how much water you gave them, I like your idea

Do you prune your suckers or just let them grow?

Makes sense, as tomatoes and potatoes are same family and you earth up pots,also you could get a rebar grid (for foundations) to make the cage cheaply

This year I started using BT I see it is working. I tried neem oil soap water. oil for some reason they didn't work. To me best thing to do is to learn everything from the scratch. 1. when you first place your tomatoes plants inside 2x2 hole bottom do you remove leaves ? 2. Do you get diseases ? how do you control do you spray anything? I do not see any leaves damage. 3. How often do you water? thank you Andre

I have a feeling though leaving the leafs on to grow(they'll eventually stop) is beneficial bc plants gain their growth from the uptake of carbon dioxide through their leafs, wouldn't more leafs mean more surface area to take in mass?

I may try this, but I'll remove about 70% of unneeded greenery. That will let the sun in, quicker fruit ripening, and bigger fruit. It will also allow air movement resulting in fewer fungal diseases, and prevent entire plants from being toppled over in strong winds.
