Default No Till growing tomatos

George, the bottom line here is that whether you use no-till methods, or go
to the other extreme and till the hell out of your soil every time you feel
like starting a noisy machine (like my neighbor), it has no relationship to
how you plant the seeds and care for the plants. I think you're trying to
expand the no-till subject to overlap an aspect of gardening on which it has
no effect.

I guess first question len is how to propogate them. Grow in a container
seperately in sunny spot etc, or plant straight in to the ground with
mulch
removed and reapply mulch round it once plants grows a few inchs high,

or
indent the mulch and fill with compost/soil and plants the seed
straight
into that.

Advice appreciated.

g'day george,

none mate don't prune anymore, don;t stake them up, just make sure
they get the water they need, check for any grub attacks, set fruit
fly traps for the fruit fly and pick ripe fruit.
