Default CORRECTION: On tomato ripening trick

Trick for ripening Tomatoes....
According the the book by Dick Raymond; The Love of Gardening,
you can make your tomatoes ripen faster if you do "root pruning"
when the tomatoes are green. Root pruning is where you take your
spade shovel and cut into the earth in a half circular pattern about
12 inches from the plant. Supposedly, this cuts into the root system
and triggers the plant to ripen the tomatoes. Try it!
Let me know if it works for you.

CORRECTION....
....cut into the earth in a half circular pattern about
6 inches from the plant ( NOT 12 inches).

Supposedly, your tomatoes will ripen within one week.
