I actually picked the brain of my mom an old time gardener. Here's the
scoop, you put the hot caps and leave them on. Watering around them will be
sufficient, she said to look at the plants just to make sure though. She
leaves them on even until they are tall, cutting the top of the cap and
letting the plant grow on thru for a while longer. Guess I will give it a
try! She always has a great crop of tomatoes.

I have heard hot caps for tomatoes are very useful. I am a bit confused
though, do I leave them an all of the time? Just at night? Please advise.
