Default Tomato Seedlings


SNIP

Toms often get a little leggy though, if they ahve done so, when I pot
up I plant them a bit deeper so part of the stem is under the compost.
The stem roots happily into the compost and the plant is less likely to
flop over.

Now this begs the question I've often wondered about with various types of
plant. How much deeper can things generally be planted without causing other
problems, as I've always understood that planting too deep can cause stems
to rot.

$64,000 question - how deep is too deep?
