I just received my tomato transplants. The grower and many sources
recommend deep planting an additional 4-6 inches of stem.

My question is do you do anything specific with the branches on the
bottom 4-6 inches?

I assume I should completely bury them?
Do I leave the leaves on the branches I bury?


I don't completely bury the plants. I leave the topmost
branches sticking out of the soil - you need to leave it
some leaves.

I cut off the branches that get buried.
