Anyone heard of this? It's supposed to make them sweeter (obviously!)

Does it work? If so, how much do you add?


Almost any sort of mild stress will result in tastier tomatoes - sugar
or salt in the water (which might harm your soil, depending on whether
you can leach it out well), or heat, or simply not watering as much as
usual.

The tomatoes make more sugars to counterbalance the osmotic stress.
